151 West 74 Street   Unit 7A

In 1920, F. P. Platt & Brother, known for their exquisite work on Astor Court and NY Athletic Club, designed this perfectly lovely, boutique building on the sweetly tree-lined West 74th Street. With comfortably scaled rooms, beamed ceilings, and bright and open exposures, this sun-filled residence has a rich character rooted in the traditions of its original designer - yet its recent upgrades keep it well tuned for 2014. The entry hall spills into the Living Room, a south-facing space ideal for lounging and entertaining. The big dining room is a flexible space (see alternate plans) off of the kitchen, which is both practical and attractive - offering stainless appliances, granite counters, good cabinets, and a washer/dryer hook-up. Both bedrooms are cheerful and bright, and both are served by their own respective custom windowed baths. Well situated in a supremely located, pet-friendly, pied-a-terre-friendly, well maintained elevator building with live-in-super, video intercom, laundry/bike/storage areas, courtyard, and a location that comes with bragging rights, this happy home is both easy to live and easy to love. Sunshine days have found you - welcome.
