THE APARTMENT:
Blessed with Ansonia charm, this sunny Alcove Studio features oversized and super-quiet double-paned windows, a sweet wrought iron balcony, and gloriously high 11′ ceilings. Timeless southern and eastern views on a marvelous gothic church. This windowed alcove is perfectly suited for a bedroom, dining area, or a home office. Take a soothing bath in an extra large bathroom and tub and feel the grace with every step on stunning herring-bone quarter sawn oak floors, while enjoying the detailed ceiling and woodwork of the grand Haussmannian beaux-arts era.
BUILDING:
The Ansonia is quintessential Beux-Arts building; an iconic achievement in New York City Architecture. With 12′ wide corridors and a full service staff, one will feel the ultra-luxury that is the buildings pedigree. The building also features a rooftop deck, that was once a farm for Ansonia’s guest when it was a famed hotel.
LOCATION / NEIGHBORHOOD:
Located directly above the 1,2,3 subway line, the Ansonia is perfectly situated in the Heart of New York City’s most dynamic and Cultural neighborhood: the Upper West Side. Short walk to both Central Park and Riverside park, Lincoln Center, Farmers markets, and a plentitude of restaurants… there is nothing that is lacking in the location or apartment itself! Who needs to toot about the 70’s in the Upper West Side?!…To the most expecting New Yorkers, the subdued and historic residential neighborhood of the UWS only starts at 70th Street. The Ansonia occupies its epicenter: herself proudly named “the Address of the West Side”, Princess Ansonia figures in all the books about NY: if not pictured on the cover, maybe in the centerfold. Architectural richness (much of this area is recorded historic landmark), Cultural abundance (the Who’s Who in Dance, Music and Cinematography hides here somewhere, ghost or alive), Restaurants and Museums (Natural History and the amazing Rose Planetarium, the Children Museum, etc) are synonym to this irresistible neighborhood.
BUILDING ROOF DECK:
The stunning landscaped roof deck used to be the Owner’s farm. Mr. Stoke thought of himself as the most sophisticated urban farmer. A precursor of green roofs & hydroponic farming! Rush up to seep a chilled Chardonnay or enjoy a sun salutations before the cute Jersey cow, hens & pigs come back to their home. This is my favorite place in New York for a secret yoga hour.
LOBBY ATTENDANTS:
