857 Ninth Avenue   Unit 5A

Price Adjustment! Welcome to 857 Ninth Avenue Apt. 5A. A 1-bedroom coop with features you'll not find anywhere else. This is the penthouse level of a walk-up coop so, yes, there are stairs to navigate. However, once you have turned that key and opened the door, you'll soon forget about anything but this fabulous home. With 14' ceilings, custom built-in shelving and storage flanking the decorative fireplace, two extra deep full size closets and the first of two 5' x 5' skylights, the living room is a place to relax and forget about your day. This oversized room also has a glimpse into one of the two loft spaces that are in this one of a kind apartment. There is a sanded glass sliding door that separates the living room from the rest of the apartment. Once back in the foyer, you'll see the custom galvanized steel ladder that brings you to the guest loft. Outfitted as the perfect guest space, there's additional storage here as well as an amazing view of the living room and out the East facing windows.Once back down on the main level, you'll find a pocket door to the windowed bathroom. Having been recently gut renovated the bathroom now offers an extra large walk-in shower with glass partition, Porcelain floors, glass and stone tiled walls and Kohler fixtures including a fabulous rain shower head. The renovations don't stop in the bathroom though. The windowed kitchen has been gutted as well and thoughtfully redesigned with function in mind, though style doesn't take a back seat. There are brand new full size stainless appliances including a built in microwave above the stove and a dishwasher. Natural stone countertops and a dichroic glass backsplash adorn the surfaces. And, there's one last thing not to be missed... the full sized washer/dryer!
On the other side of the kitchen you'll pass through another pocket door into the serene and silent bedroom. The queen size bed and dresser are placed in the front of the room directly under the second 5' x 5' skylight. And there's still more than enough room in the rear of the bedroom for a home office next to the walk-in closet. This is also where you'll find another steel ladder that'll take you to the second loft space in this home. Here you can create a space for your needs.. A custom built out storage space or shoe closet loft or additional office/work space. The options are endless! And, as a bonus, unit 5A has exclusive roof rights to the floor area directly above the unit.
