120 Bennett Avenue #6H
New York, NY
EXQUISITELY DECO! There are few prewar homes where all the "unsexy" big ticket items - walls, ceilings, floors, doors/frames, windowsills, electrical, etc. - have been as meticulously restored as what you will find in this beautifully pristine Jr4BR/1BA, comfortably useable as a 2BR. And let's not even get started with the beautiful sunlight that floods the apartment....or the top-floor location guaranteeing pin-drop quiet living.
The many art deco details that make a deco lover's heart beat just a bit faster include TWO built-in bookshelves in the foyer, carefully stripped railings leading to the sunken living room with a large bay window, wood floors with intricate walnut inlays, which have been carefully restored to their original glory with a natural matte finish, and original metal door frames and wood doors that open and close effortlessly because the decades of layers of paint have been removed. To complement the original details, the walls have been skim-coated to a silky-smooth finish and finished with intricate crown moldings and new baseboards, and the white marble windowsills add an extra layer of luxury to this lovely home.
The spacious kitchen has been previously updated, and features brand new stainless appliances for a comfortable cooking experience. The massive master bedroom features an open double closet, and the smaller bedroom is ideal for a home office, though also easily accommodates a queen bed. The bathroom has been upgraded with classic finishes, and there are two additional closets at the entrance.
Bennett Avenue is a tranquil street convenient to transportation and all amenities. The area is serviced by A Express and 1 local trains, and M98 express bus to lower Manhattan, and there are lots of cafes, restaurants and shopping within only a short walking distance. Enjoy an idyllic Sunday morning stroll through the beautifully manicured gardens at Fort Tryon Park and visit the Cloisters Museum for its medieval tapestries – both just an elevator ride away – and you will realize why more and more buyers are flocking uptown….
