Oui oui, c'est comme Paris!

This magical apartment truly feels like you have been transported to France with its grand proportions (9.5" ceilings), elegant archways and moldings throughout, and beguiling views of St. Jean Baptiste church. The perspectives include a majestic Renaissance-like dome, colonnaded turrets and historic stained glass windows, all aglow at nighttime. Bathed with natural sunlight all day from three exposures, this renovated three-bedroom home has a floorplan that flows perfectly, offering each bedroom privacy, and includes a state-of-the-art eat-in kitchen - its design and renovation unique in the building.

With only two apartments per floor, you enter the apartment and are immediately drawn in by the entrance gallery, off of which every room emanates, the high ceilings, prewar details and abundance of sun. The gracious living room has three windows and opens to the corner dining room with another four windows, allowing maximum natural light and air flow. This unique living space is quiet and serene with city views facing East over trees and historically landmarked building rooftops. The primary bedroom also has corner exposures facing East and South. Both the primary and the second bedroom are off their own bedroom hallway, each with their own windowed renovated bathrooms. The third bedroom has a glorious view of the church.

The show-stopper kitchen has been meticulously renovated and has a Sub Zero refrigerator, Miele dishwasher, Miele vented oven/range, Bosch microwave, and vented Asko washer & dryer. The whole kitchen features custom wood cabinetry, Carrara marble countertops, and a filtered sink faucet. Pocket doors open the kitchen to the formal corner dining room. The generous Carrera kitchen island can accommodate 5 bar stools. The whole apartment has through-the-wall air conditioning.

Built in 1925, between 76th and 75th Street, this boutique full-service prewar cooperative has a full-time doorman, live-in resident manager and a new gym. Pets allowed. Pied-a-terres and co-purchasing allowed with board approval. Storage available in the basement. 75% financing is allowed. There is a 2.5% flip tax.
