251 West 89th St 9B

Presenting an exceptional family home in a desirable full service pre-war condo.

This is a totally redesigned layout of the 'B' line--old world details married to today's lifestyle. Renovated only a few years ago; from new wiring and newly skim coated walls to a central air system installed throughout the apartment, this home has it all. The floors feature 4' hardwood oak and the apartment has custom oil rubbed bronze Baldwin hardware throughout.

The kitchen was designed for modern living as the hub of family life. All of the appliances are top of the line: a Sub-Zero refrigerator, a 36' Wolf Gas Range, a Miele Dishwasher, and a Rohl farmhouse porcelain sink. The hand crafted cabinetry features nickel-plated hardware and glass-paneled and lighted doors over the sink. The countertops and backsplash are all Michaelangelo Calcutta-honed marble. The kitchen has built in banquet eating area, plus a separate home office area. There area is a side-by-side laundry as well as a half-bath. The kitchen has a large window facing south, as does the eating area.

The bathrooms are pristine. They feature Waterworks tile and Lefroy Brooks shower controls and faucets with polished nickel hardware. Both bathrooms have radiant-heated floors. The second bathroom has a White Thassos marble vanity top and trim. The master bath is en-suite, and the master bedroom, which has windows facing south and east, has a wall of custom designed closets.

The second bedroom faces south and receives great light. There is also a den, which can easily convert into a third bedroom if necessary. It has pocket doors and a custom built in couch with a trundle bed.

The building is exceptional. Built in 1910, The Admaston, as 251 West 89th Street is known, is one of the most desirable pre-war condominium buildings on the Upper West Side, and features a magnificent lobby. With only 12 stories and 72 units, it has an intimate feel, storage bins, a bike room, and a fabulous roof deck. Bring Fido--it's pet friendly!
