Description

Newly renovated one bedroom in the West 70s which captures the essence of "Location, Location, Location."

On the southwest corner of tree-lined West 75th Street and Columbus Avenue, we find the exquisite Del Monte, built in 1892. It was originally designed as a 7 story Renaissance/Romanesque Revival Style building by architect Gilbert Schellinger and converted to cooperative in 1985. In recent years, the allure of the location coupled with the shareholders" efforts to create and maintain the quintessential residence, a growing number of the homes (once subdivided) are being re-combined. Several years ago the shareholders underwent a renovation of the wide, window-lit hallways and the commodious lobby, staying quite true to its original design, including the Pre-war crown moldings and a restoration of the beautiful and original historic mosaic floor.

Within we find, a very special one bedroom home with extra high ceilings. It possesses a newly renovated and spectacular never-been-used open windowed Chef's Kitchen which is simply a marvel. If you like to entertain and/or simply prepare meals to your hearts delight, then you will truly feel at home. The brand new windows allow you to gaze out over trees on West 75th Street and feel the tranquility of this vibrant stretch of the Columbus Avenue, becoming commonly referred to as the Upper West Side Village. The neighborhood offers everything you can imagine right here in the heart of this newly defined enclave.

The Del Monte is an elevator building with video security, live-in super, porter, bike room and laundry room. There is also some additional storage; however, there is a waiting list. This intimate building now consists of 50 units and just a few blocks from Central Park, Riverside Park, Fairway, Citarella, Trader Joe's, Zabars, The Museum of Natural History, Lincoln Center, Parla, The Mermaid Inn, the 1,2,3,B & C Subway Lines, cross-town busses, the Sunday Flea Market & Farmer's Market (the list goes on and on) and all of this is along Columbus Avenue's varied Shopping District with every boutique you could imagine. And there are two brand new elevators to come, fully paid for.

Pets, pied-a-terres and guarantors are all considered on a case by case basis. Note: the furnished photos have been virtually staged.  Listing courtesy of Brown Harris Stevens Residential Sales LLC ...
