273 6TH Ave 4

Entering the top floor apartment of this four-unit building you will be struck by a combination of thoughtful and tasteful renovation with respectful attention to its late nineteenth-century character. Facing east, west, and south, the apartment is filled with light from three skylights, stained glass transoms, and full sized double-glazed windows throughout. Kitchen, two large baths, and four closets have been fully and painstakingly renovated. The open-plan kitchen has glass tiled backsplashes with unusual bamboo-inspired details, Bosch dishwasher, JennAir refrigerator, Dacor stove vented to the outside, Insinkerator disposal, beautiful custom-designed and hand-crafted cherry wood cabinets and drawers with lots of special features, and, finally, a Corian counter which can be used as an impromptu eating area. Off of the roomy tin-ceilinged living room with its elegant pier mirror is an alcove that can be closed off with French doors and used as a spare bedroom or study. Lounge in the oversized bathtub for two in the master bathroom, and enjoy the beautiful stained glass window created for the space. The closets in all three bedrooms and the hallway have been beautifully designed to provide optimal storage space, seldom found in urban apartments of this size. The apartment has a brand new stacking Bosch washer and dryer. Just outside the front double doors, a spiral staircase leads you to the roof, where the current owners have created a lovely terrace and garden with a wisteria draped trellis and many other vines, shrubs, and grasses. An automatic irrigation system keeps the garden watered, and there is an ample storage shed for tools and garden furniture. If you are like almost every visitor to this oasis on the roof, your first word will be Wow! as you take in the splendid 360 degree view, including the ever changing colors and moods of the Manhattan skyline. The rights to the use of the roof are exclusive to the owners of the fourth floor apartment.

The apartment comes with ample storage space in the basement and there is no underlying mortgage on the building. And you are close to the shops and other amenities on 5th and 7th Avenue.
