Picturesque open-sky views meet historic architectural detail in this breathtaking two- bedroom, one-bathroom Upper West Side home featuring generous storage and a desirable split-bedroom layout in a rare pre-war condominium one block from Riverside Park. Inside this beautiful residence, beamed ceilings soar 10.75 feet high over herringbone hardwood floors, oversized grid-pattern windows, and intricate crown molding. Relax and entertain in the expansive living/dining room where large windows flank a charming decorative fireplace. Floor-to-ceiling bookcases underscore the home's impressive proportions, while views stretch across stunning sunsets and a glimpse of the Hudson. The large eat-in, windowed kitchen boasts flat-front cabinetry, open shelving and subway tile backsplashes. Full-size appliances make cooking and cleaning a breeze, while red-tile floors, a wrought-iron light fixture and a large farm-style table with a time- worn patina complement the home’s historic soul. Sleep soundly in the king-size bedroom that’s lined by an entire wall of floor-to-ceiling closets. In the adjacent, oversized bathroom, you’ll find a large tub/shower and console vanity surrounded by classic black-and-white tile. The secondary bedroom is equally ideal as a home office or nursery. An extra-tall hall coat closet and a separate storage bin ensure storage won’t be a concern in this lovely Upper West Side sanctuary. In- unit washer-dryers permitted with board approval. The Sexton is a Renaissance Revival building featuring a handsome terra-cotta and brick façade and a classic canopy entry. Residents of the elevator condo enjoy full-time doorman and live-in superintendent service, a recently renovated and landscaped common courtyard, a central laundry room, bike storage and private storage bins. From this outstanding uptown location at the corner of 86th Street and West End Avenue, you’ll enjoy easy access to both Riverside Park and Central Park, with numerous playgrounds and the gardens of the Natural History Museum within easy reach. Fantastic shopping, dining and nightlife venues line the nearby streets, while 1/2/3 and B/C trains, excellent bus service and CitiBikes put the rest of the city within easy reach.
