Property Description
Showing by Advance Appt Only / Open Houses are By Advance Appt Only - Thank You. When the famed LUXOR was built in 1911, during the Edwardian era, only the best apartments fronted on the boulevards. Here for your viewing pleasure is one of those rare offerings. Entering the building via the double marble lobbies, one leaves behind the hustle and bustle of Columbia University and the myriad purveyors supplying academia's more prosaic needs. One is welcomed into a double height marble , wood and shined brass world overseen by Gaetan Aijelo's signature grand staircase and stained glass lobby window. A turn of the last century architect extraordinaire, the neighborhood's character is set by the many limestone Edwardian buildings he designed. That grandeur extends into Apt 52. With soaring ceilings and three exposures, one is embraced by the light coming from oversized windows in every direction. The grand living room's mantle complete with a decorative plaster framed pier mirror, wall to wall east facing windows and light oak parquet floors refract the light in a magical way. The entry foyer with its separate room size walk in /storage closet, leads to the massive great room with a separate large dining area. The windowed kitchen is outfitted with a breakfast bar and full sized washer/dryer which vents to the outdoors. The primary bedroom situated at the south west corner of the apartment is separated from bedroom 2 which occupies the extreme opposite southeast corner. Privacy and quiet are built in. At 20'6" x 11'9", one can easily fit a king size bedroom set and a separate zoom room. Framing the room, the dentil moldings harken back to an earlier time. Conceived as an Edwardian 5, convertible to a 3 BR. The reconfigured suite boasts an enormous windowed full bath and two extra large walk in closets to meet the needs of a 21st century lifestyle. This gorgeous rambling home with the perfect balance of grand and formal entertaining rooms and private corner bedroom wings awaits its next loving residents. Pet friendly with a live in super, elevators, video intercom and bike storage. Columbia University offers unique cultural opportunities, gorgeous grounds and a twice weekly farmers market just outside your door. One block to Riverside Park. TRANSPORTATION : #1 at 116th St under 500 feet & the M104 bus stop on the next block. Showing exclusively by Appt & Facetime, Zoom, Video chat. Questions? Answers!
