Enter directly through the stylish renovated lobby to this elegant prewar co-operative. The unique layout, with beautifully proportioned rooms, includes an inviting entrance foyer, gracious living room, over-sized bedroom, windowed kitchen and staff room with half bath. Throughout, many of the original prewar details remain: coffered ceiling, decorative fireplace surround, hardwood floors, and original hardware. With creative vision, the opportunistic buyer can transform this home into "The Marvelous Maisonette". Imagine it as a distinguished pied-a-terre or "jewel-box" full-time residence.
