55 Park Terrace East   Unit B44

LA GRANDE DAME! This floor-through 2BR/2BA literally basking in the sun is the largest layout in the lovely Park Terrace Gardens co-op, which is not only surrounded by trees, but also hides an entire private gated garden inside its five buildings. If living in a calm and peaceful environment is a priority, you've just found your new home!The entrance hallway with two closets leads way to the heart of the apartment - the homey trinity of foyer/living room/kitchen. The foyer beautifully accommodates a formal dining area, being also adjacent to the kitchen for ultimate convenience. And speaking of the kitchen.this is a dream-come-true for anyone who is sick of tiny NYC kitchens: there are granite counters as far as you can see, and it'll be hard to find a home chef who will fill up all the cabinets, complete with a full-size original pantry closet. The expansive sunken living room has the original deco wrought iron railings and architectural beams, and southern exposures over a tree-lined street. The two massive bedrooms are tucked away from the living area together with the larger bathroom with original yellow-and-black tiling in mint shape. There is an en-suite bathroom with a shower stall in the garden-facing bedroom, also with beautifully maintained original tiling. The original herringbone floors throughout the home are simply stunning, and it'll be hard to find an apartment with more closet space (there are 7!).Park Terrace Gardens offers public rooftop terraces to all residents (picture sunset bbq's!), beautifully manicured private gardens (even composting is available!), concierge services, and on-site management for immediate support. There isn't a nicer transition from your home to the outside world than the quiet rustle of the leaves and the choir of birds greeting you at the front door, so upgrade your standard of living with just one offer....(Please note the photo of the view is from the building's roof deck!)This fantastic nabe has great outdoor opportunities, providing easy access to tennis, basketball, and handball courts, baseball and soccer fields, hiking/biking trails, and kayaking. It boasts the best dog run of the city (according to many) and is a nature-loving city-dweller's fantasy fulfilled. The local services include a year-round farmer's market, cafes and restaurants, banks, florists, and hardware stores; River Plaza shopping center with Target, Marshall's,
