Set in a lovely co-op brownstone just one block from Central Park, this two-bedroom, two-bathroom home combines turn-of-the-century architectural details & charm with smart, modern updates. Recently renovated, this floor-through apartment boasts the elegant details one expects from a home of this era, including 10-and-a-half-foot ceilings, double crown moldings, original oak shutters and ornate, carved window and door frames. With a great layout for entertaining, the bright and spacious 18-foot by 19-foot living/dining room is anchored by treetop views from north-facing windows, while modern lighting and gleaming Brazilian cherry floors nod to the home's careful renovations.
