PRE-WAR, ONE-BEDROOM PARADISE
This spacious, high-floor, one-bedroom sanctuary is located in the historic and mystique-infused Whitby where such notable 20th Century icons as Doris Day, George Burns and Al Capone spent their days and nights. This quiet, 6th floor home, tucked away in a hallway alcove for privacy, has been thoughtfully updated so that coveted 1920's details remain while at the same time offering the comforts of contemporary living.
A well-lit entry hallway, both long and dramatic, can easily accommodate an expansive library wall, hanging art gallery or efficient home office. You are then welcomed into the generously-sized living room with its elegant, dark oak floors, beamed ceilings and crown moldings. Oversized windows with Southern exposures filter beautiful light and offer beckoning views of the city skyline, magnificent at night.
The windowed kitchen has been opened up and is equipped with a built-in breakfast bar, granite countertops and custom wood cabinets. The ample bathroom is ideally situated between the living room and bedroom, perfect for guests. It is also windowed and has been modernized with a soaking tub, Kohler pedestal sink and Toto fixtures. The large bedroom, separated from the living room by a foyer, offers quiet privacy and is bathed in Southern light.
The Whitby, famously profiled in the New York Times, was designed by the esteemed architect Emery Roth (The San Remo, The Beresford) and completed in 1923. This 217-unit, noble structure, renowned for its impressive three sturdy bays and rippling brick cornice, is located on West 45th Street between 8th and 9th Aves in the heart of NYC's fabled theatre district.
The Whitby is a full-service co-op and features one of the most spectacular roof decks in Midtown West with 360 degree, open city views. Amenities include a 24/7 doorman, new laundry room, storage, bike room, FIOS and a grand, newly renovated, Art Deco-inspired lobby. It is convenient to all major transportation and an abundance of restaurants, cafes and entertainment.
