Description

This tranquil, one-of-a-kind, penthouse sanctuary is located in the historic and mystique-infused Whitby, recently profiled in the New York Times, where such notable 20th Century icons as Doris Day, George Burns and Al Capone spent their days and nights.

Breathtaking Southern and Eastern city views beguile from every room and a remarkable, 430SF, wrap-around terrace will captivate your imagination and truly must be seen to be appreciated. Stunning sunrises will enthrall and endless views will enchant you. Its exquisite landscaping is fully-irrigated and even offers a peach tree for summer cobbler baking. It also features an electronic, retractable awning for all-weather, outdoor enjoyment.

Classic, 1923 architecture and layout enhance this quiet and spacious apartment and at the same time offer a major comfort of contemporary living, central air-conditioning. Lovingly crafted, rustic, faux-painting adorns throughout. An entry foyer welcomes you into the generously-sized living room with its 9' ceilings, elegant oak floors and crown moldings. Oversized windows with Eastern exposures filter beautiful light and offer beckoning views of the city skyline, magnificent at night.

The pass-through, windowed kitchen looks out onto the greenery of the Eastern terrace and is equipped with an expansive, built-in counter, ideal for entertaining. The ample bathroom is ideally situated between the living room and bedroom, perfect for guests. It is also windowed with an unusual 10' ceiling and has been renovated with a pedestal sink. The large, corner bedroom, separated from the living room by a foyer, has both Southern and Eastern exposures, offers quiet privacy and is bathed in light. Another conveniently located room offers numerous options for your lifestyle, such as home office, study or guest quarters. Large closets, including one walk-in, provide abundant opportunities for storage.
