Bright, Freshly Renovated South-Facing 2br 2ba Plus Dining Room/Office! Situated in a building that was once the home of Yankee great Babe Ruth, this renovated, oversized, south-facing, 2br 2ba (plus a windowed bonus room that could be used as a dining room or office) is your quintessential Upper West Side home. Enter the apartment from the semi-private elevator landing and step into a gracious home that has been tastefully updated and well designed, while still maintaining its pre-war charm. Facing south onto 88th Street, you will enjoy all day sunlight and tree-lined views of neighboring turn-of-the-century buildings. The renovated windowed kitchen features all new appliances, including a Miele dishwasher and Wolf oven, white quartz countertops, white glass cabinets that extend up to the ceiling, and a marble subway tile backsplash. Both bathrooms are windowed and renovated with timeless marble tiles and pedestal sinks. The oversized living room spans 28ft and easily accommodates a spacious seating area as well as a large dining table. The bonus room off the kitchen can be used as an office, a dining room, play space, or you can expand the kitchen into the space to create a true eat-in kitchen and add an in-unit washer/dryer. A huge primary bedroom has space for a king size bed and plenty of other furniture with room to spare. Other features of this home include 9+ft ceilings, brand new hardwood floors, high baseboard molding, cove and picture rail molding, 5 closets (including a walk-in), tasteful living room built-ins, and newly updated electrical. In-unit W/D is permitted! Two storage closets transfer with the unit at no extra charge and are included in the maintenance. 345 West 88th Street is a boutique building on a tree-lined brownstone block just across from the Soldiers" and Sailors" Monument and Riverside Park. The building is pet-friendly (dogs under 30lbs), has a live-in super, a helpful building staff, and a community room with a lending library and a ping-pong table. Subletting, pieds-a-terre, co-purchasing and guarantors are allowed with board approval. 80% financing is permitted. Just a few blocks to the subway in the heart of the Upper West Side and all it has to offer, this is truly an incredible place to call home.
