Your own private haven minutes from Central Park is waiting! This pin drop quiet home will make the perfect permanent residence or pied-a-terre... When you enter 5L, a proper foyer greets you in. You hang your coat in the closet and relaxation starts now. You make your way to the eat-in kitchen where you drop off the best avocado toast in town or maybe a delicious pastry for later. Daily Provisions, Da Capo and Le Pain Quotidien are just around the corner. This move-in ready oversize alcove studio has a very desirable layout that can be anything you want. The spacious alcove dining area has been seamlessly converted to a bedroom many times in that line. And behind gracious Shogi doors is an enormous walk in closet that is the ultimate bonus room. It could be an inspiring home office, a zen meditation sanctuary or a serene yoga room. The unit faces South and has wonderful pre-war details (hardwood floors throughout, beamed ceilings, giant windows), as well as many modern features: a kitchen with granite countertops and stainless appliances; through the wall A/C; custom window treatments; a windowed bath with a fabulous deep soaking tub.
