345 West 88th St 7F

If you're looking for one of the largest one bedroom, 1 bath (easily convertible to 2BR) pre-war residences in the city, on a park block, with well-proportioned rooms, generous partial river views, a walk-in closet you could move into and a kitchen so big you can do laps in, you've found your home. Oh, and did we mention Yankee legend Babe Ruth used to live on the same floor? This entertainer's paradise, with two windows and two pass thrus in the open kitchen featuring granite counters and a Birdseye Maple counter, which opens to the living room and smartly acts as a two-sided table. Storage won't be a problem with a plethora of cabinets on three walls. The grand living room is spacious enough to fit a dining table and has two exposures and a view of the river. The XL bedroom (are you sensing a theme here?) with river views has a walk-in closet so large you may have to buy some new clothes to fill it up. The bathroom is windowed and has also been updated. The home has plenty of the charm of yesteryear with 9-foot, 5-inch ceilings, herringbone floors and the original molding and beamed ceilings. The building has a part-time doorman, a laundry room, and allows dogs up to 30 pounds. Sorry no pied a terres, co-purchases, or parents buying for children.
