Set in a serene co-op brownstone just one block from Central Park, two flights up, this two-bedroom, two-bathroom home combines turn-of-the-century charm with smart, modern updates. Thoughtfully updated while beautifully preserving its original character, this floor-through apartment boasts the elegant details one expects from a home of this era, including 10-and-a-half-foot ceilings, double crown moldings, original oak shutters and ornate, carved window and door frames. With a great layout for entertaining, the bright and spacious 18-foot by 19-foot living/dining room is anchored by treetop views from north-facing windows with modern lighting and gleaming Brazilian cherry floors.

The nearby galley kitchen will delight your inner chef with stainless steel appliances by Sub-Zero, Asko and Dacor, plus excellent counter space, convenient breakfast bar seating and ample cabinet and large pantry storage. A full bathroom and entry closet round out the public spaces, while bedrooms are situated on the south end of the home, providing ideal privacy and quiet. Both bedrooms are windowed with generous closet space. One is set adjacent to a convenient built-in home office and both are served by the home’s second full bathroom with gleaming white tile and a relaxing walk-in rain shower. There is a separate walk-in laundry room with additional convenient counter space, a rare find. The apartment includes central air conditioning, with a separate thermostat for the bedrooms, and updated electrical. A storage space in the building is also included.
