Be prepared to be "wowed" when you visit this very large home at the Cloisters cooperative - it is perhaps the largest 7-room apartment in the area. Two wide 1898 townhouses were combined and now offer some extraordinary apartments featuring grand rooms, very high ceilings, and filled with museum quality details. This home is perhaps the best of the lot - it is the former entertaining floor of the mansion and is highlighted by 40 feet width of its two front south facing rooms. It offers 7 rooms in total, 3 bedrooms, near 12-foot ceilings and a huge 7-foot original wood burning fireplace. Overall dimensions are stupendous - both the living room and family room are each over 400sf, and the master bedroom is almost as large. The gorgeous and oversize master bath has heated floors, a steam shower, 3 medicine cabinets and additional storage. The kitchen is beautifully renovated and features top-end appliances (Miele, Viking, SubZero) and custom cabinetry, and is adjacent to a balcony overlooking the building's lovely planted garden. There are 18 oversize windows including 4 sets of triple-pane bay windows. Most rooms have quarter-sawn riff oak herringbone floors, original moldings and original hardware. Overall storage in the home is exceptional - multiple walk-in closets, storage under the stairs leading into the home, and a large crawl space above the kitchen. There is also a spacious private closet outside the apartment's front door. A washer/dryer is permitted in the apartment.This rare home is located in an intimate cooperative on a picturesque park block straddling the Bloomingdale and Columbia University communities. It is now one of the most sought after areas on the Upper West Side with new luxury condominium developments, cafes & restaurants, entertainment and shopping. (Note: quoted maintenance reflects 2-year $1,000/month abatement paid by seller).
