Ang pamumuhay sa isang doorman coop building sa isang maganda at puno ng mga puno na kalsada, sa isang klasikong kapitbahayan, na ilang minuto mula sa maraming linya ng subway at ilang maikling bloke mula sa Whole Foods at Trader Joe's ay maganda para sa iyo? Ang apartment na ito na pre-war ay isang tunay na hiyas. Ang layout ay ganito na hindi mo mararamdaman ang karaniwang hugis-parihaba na kahon, kundi ang pakiramdam na ikaw ay nasa isang tahanan.

Pumasok ka sa isang foyer na may closet para sa coat at magpapatuloy sa malaking sala. Ito ay may pinatibay na orihinal na hardwood floors at mga moldura sa dingding na may mga salamin na nagbibigay ng karakter at alindog sa silid. Ang dalawang bintanang nakaharap sa timog ay may double pane at bago lahat ng mga bintana sa apartment. Ang bintanang kusina ay ganap na na-renovate, at mayroon ding bintana at maaaring magkasya ng maliit na dining table. Ang silid-tulugan ay medyo malaki at kayang magkasya ng king-sized na kama at mga built-in din kung pipiliin ng isa. Ito rin ay maliwanag at maaliwalas na may dalawang bintana na nakaharap sa timog.

Mayroong magandang taniman sa bubong na may magagandang tanawin ng Sutton at Turtle Bay na mga kapitbahayan. Mayroon ding maayos na laundry room. Pinapayagan ng board ang mga magulang na bumibili para sa mga anak, pied-a-terre's at may mapagbigay na sublet policy: Walang limitasyong subletting pagkatapos ng dalawang taon ng pagmamay-ari na may pahintulot ng board.

Does living in a doorman coop building on a gorgeous tree-lined block, in a classic neighborhood, minutes from numerous subway lines and a few short blocks from a Whole Foods and a Trader Joe's sound good to you? This pre-war apartment is a real gem. The layout is such that you don't have that cookie cutter rectangular box feel, but rather a feeling of being in a home.
You enter into a foyer with a coat closet and continue on to the large living room. It has refinished original hardwood floors and wall moldings with mirrors that give the room character and charm. The two south-facing windows are double-paned and are brand new as are all the windows in the apartment. The windowed kitchen has been completely renovated, and also has a window and can accommodate a small dining table. The bedroom is quite large and can fit a king-sized bed and built-ins too if one so chooses. It too is bright and airy with two windows facing south.
The building has a beautiful planted roof deck with lovely long views of the Sutton and Turtle Bay neighborhoods. There is also a well-appointed laundry room. The board allows parents buying for children, pied-e-terre's and has a generous sublet policy: Unlimited subletting after two years of ownership with board approval.
