Description
Take advantage of this opportunity to own a spacious, high-floor and light-filled one-bedroom oasis located in the historic and mystique-infused Whitby where such notable 20th Century icons as Doris Day, George Burns and Al Capone spent their days and nights. This quiet, 9th floor home retains all of its original, pre-War details while boasting an immaculate and glamorous style.
A long and dramatic entry hallway can easily accommodate an expansive library wall, hanging art gallery or efficient home office. You are then welcomed into the generously sized living room with its original oak floors, high, beamed ceilings and crown moldings. Oversized windows with Northern exposures filter extraordinarily beautiful sunlight and offer stunning views of both classic townhouses and completely open vistas of the modern city skyline, strikingly beautiful at night. The kitchen is windowed and has the potential to be opened up to create an impressive dining space. The ample bathroom is ideally situated between the living room and bedroom, perfect for guests. It is also windowed and has been beautifully renovated with classic subway tile and a pedestal Kohler sink while retaining its reglazed vintage bathtub with rainforest showerhead. The large bedroom, separated from the living room by a foyer, offers quiet privacy and is bathed in light. Large closets provide abundant opportunities for storage.
And finally, an affordable monthly maintenance makes this a highly attractive investment for the discerning buyer.
