Cooperative New York

Water Tower Lookout

One of the most iconic images of a NYC landscape is the sea of water towers floating in the horizon. From the tenth floor of this gracious pre-war home, majestic water towers sit at eye level- framed by open sky and perfectly aligned with your windows with views of the Hudson River behind. A distinctly New York view that is cinematic and timeless.

Step inside this thoughtfully reimagined three-bedroom home, where pre-war character has been carefully preserved and elevated and wonderful opened up and redesigned for modern living.

The entry foyer has been expertly built with custom millwork to maximize function, with floor-to-ceiling bespoke storage, a built-in bench, and curated space for art. Every detail has been considered, creating a seamless and organized arrival experience to a delightfully unique home.

The kitchen is both striking and highly user friendly for elaborate home cooking. While open to the loft-like living space, storage and workspace is not compromised. With a delightful window framing dramatic open views, this dream of a kitchen features quartzite countertops and complemented by a full suite of premium appliances, including a Liebherr refrigerator, Miele Future Classica dishwasher, and a four-burner BlueStar gas range with a fully vented hood. A classic white tile backsplash nods to the home’s pre-war beginnings, while a true pantry and a generously sized island with seating for four complete the space.

Just beyond the kitchen, the third bedroom offers flexibility as a guest room, nursery, or ideal home office with abundant afternoon light.

The primary king sized bedroom is defined by dual exposures and excellent storage, with a windowed bathroom just outside replete with classic prewar character such a white subway tile and a porcelain soaking tub. A charming outlook outside the primary bedroom is a true New York postcard.

The second bedroom features an en-suite half bath, with a closet discreetly housing a Miele washer and dryer. With approvals this may again become an ensuite full bath.

Anchoring the home is the expansive 27-foot long living and dining room, spanning the full width of the apartment. With ample room for both formal dining and comfortable living, the space is enhanced by custom built-ins and partial Hudson River views. This vast space may be used in many ways to incorporate a media room, den, additional bedroom space on the western side of the room or enjoyed as the open loft room as it is today.

Additional highlights include high ceilings, through-wall air conditioning, built-in shelving millwork, and charming pre-war details such as original French doors and antique hardware. Updated solid oak wide-plank hardwood floors in a natural finish run throughout, adding warmth and cohesion and modern edge. This one of a kind C Line has an extra bedroom annexed from 10B.
