West 73rd Gilded Age 1BR Beauty
Aficionados of the architectural splendor of Gilded Age New York will appreciate this unique Junior four-room home in the coveted West 70s!!! Designed by Charles T. Mott in 1887, this turn of the century, Romanesque Revival mansion was once the home of the son and widow of President Ulysses S. Grant and later the home of Samuel Shaw, collector and patron of American Art.
This home is dripping in Old World charm and requires a visit to fully appreciate. A turret in the main living space creates a circular bay with four huge windows surrounded by floor to ceiling mahogany paneling and decorative plaster work, facing south and west. Dramatic in appearance, these windows draw in tremendous light while offering lovely views over West 73rd and West End Avenue and out towards Riverside Park. The ceiling height is 10 1/2 feet throughout and the floors are stunning figured oak in a herringbone design. The walls are adorned with intricate original molding. Archways, mirrored panel doors, decorative fireplace, and deep functional window sills all add to the overflowing charm of this home. A flexible layout allows plenty of space to live, dine, entertain and work. Nine oversized windows allow for tremendous light in ALL rooms. Two beautiful, curved and carpeted flights of stairs are required for access.
This self-managed, seven unit converted mansion features central laundry and complimentary storage cages in the basement and allows pets, pied a terre ownership and washer/dryers in units. Impeccably maintained, recent years' capital improvements include new visual intercom and safety surveillance system, new roofing, repointing of the building, and modernization of electrical service to each apartment, replacement and code updates to boiler and hot water heaters.
Desirably located in one of the most vibrant and historic residential neighborhoods in Manhattan, this home is convenient to Fairway, Citarella, Trader Joe's, The Beacon Theater and the 1/2/3 subway lines and just one block from Riverside Park with its cafes, gardens, playgrounds, bicycle paths, sports fields, tennis courts and dog runs.
