A house in the city! This charming 2 bedroom, 2 bathroom duplex apartment with amazing storage space makes you feel as if you just stepped into a townhouse, but with the conveniences of a full-service building and a spectacular view from its rooftop terrace, all on one of the most coveted blocks of the Upper West Side. The grand living room maintains original old-world details such as beams and elegant coving for its soaring 12 feet high ceiling. Three oversized southern exposure windows bring in plenty of sunshine and add architectural drama to the space. The renovated pass-through kitchen features custom-made white cabinets, granite countertops, high-end appliances including a Sub-Zero refrigerator and a Miele dishwasher, and a pantry. The guest bathroom on the main floor has been completely renovated with white tiles and contemporary fixtures. The bedrooms on the upper level reached from a straight internal stairway or by the building's elevator are very generous in size, feature herringbone hardwood flooring, arched windows, and share a new bathroom. Did we mention that there are six closets, including two oversized walk-ins, custom shades and blinds; and that all utilities are included in the maintenance? This unique property provides the opportunity to live at the Clifton House, a co-op building with an attentive staff, 24-hour doormen, pet-friendly policies, spectacular rooftop deck, laundry facilities, extra storage and its enviable location down the street from the American Museum of Natural History and its park and at the center of a lively neighborhood with plenty of restaurants and stores. Central Park and Riverside Park are only a few blocks away, as are three main subway lines and convenient crosstown & uptown/downtown buses.
