Description

Spacious, loft-like, corner 1BR apartment on airy 20th floor of the beautiful, prewar art deco Sofia condominium. The entire apartment has been gorgeously renovated and customized, making this truly a "turnkey" home. With high 9.5" celings and dual southern and eastern exposure, sunlight all day long is reflected off the apartment’s herringbone oak flooring.

Open kitchen sports corian and stainless steal countertops complemented by sleek, lacquer gloss cabinetry, with appliances by Bertazaoni, Miehle, and Leibherr. Bathroom is outfitted with porcelain tiling and granite vanity. Intelligent closet millwork provides augmented storage/shelving.

The Sofia Condominium is one of only very few prewar condominiums in Lincoln Square, built in 1930 and converted in 1984.

Even rarer still is its private, semi-circular driveway, making residency on this very small block (from Broadway to Columbus is only a few hundred feet) the very definition of luxury. Fullservice building staff includes 24 hour doorman, concierge, porters and live in super. Tucked away from it all yet right in the middle of everything, as all subway lines, Time Warner Center shops, Lincoln Center, and some of the best restaurants on the UWS are each only a block or two away.
