This rare Postwar condo just off Central Park is filled with sunlight and character. Tucked behind a private gate, the home feels like a hidden gem. Inside, soaring double-height ceilings and oversized windows create an airy, dramatic backdrop, while details like stained glass, crown moldings, and hardwood floors bring timeless charm. A welcoming foyer opens to a spacious living and dining area, currently home to a baby grand piano once played by jazz great Terry Waldo. The thoughtfully designed galley kitchen features a Bertazzoni stove, Bloomberg stainless steel refrigerator and dishwasher, and a full-size LG washer/dryer. Generous quartz countertops, Martha Stewart cabinetry, a built-in pantry, and abundant storage make it as functional as it is stylish. The king-sized bedroom offers a quiet retreat with two large closets and direct access via glass enclosed doors, to a private backyard perfect for enjoying a morning coffee or a glass of wine. The backyard is fully equipped with electricity as well. A renovated marble bath with a soaking tub adds a touch of comfort and ease. With Central Park just half a block away, nature, culture, and recreation are all at the doorstep, from lakes and tennis courts to the Jackie Kennedy Onassis Reservoir, the Metropolitan Museum, and more. Transit is nearby with the B, C, and 1 trains, and the building is well cared for with an excellent on-site super and remarkably low monthlies. Capital assessment of $285.99/month in place until November 2027. ** all furniture is also for sale**.
