GORGEOUS, PRE-WAR, 1BR DIAMOND Take advantage of this rare opportunity to own a one-of-a-kind sanctuary located in the historic and mystique-infused Whitby where such notable 20th Century icons as Doris Day, George Burns and Al Capone spent their days and nights. This quiet, Southern-exposed home, is part of one of the largest one-bedroom lines in the building. It has undergone a complete and contemporary gut renovation but retains original, 1920's detail, including high, thick beamed ceilings, crown moldings and classic oak floors lovingly refinished to a dark and elegant sheen. A long, dramatic entry hallway can easily accommodate an expansive library wall, hanging art gallery or efficient home office. It opens into a wide living room bathed in light by oversized windows with Southern exposures. The windowed kitchen has been re-imagined and features a state-of-the-art electric oven, built-in microwave and custom white wood cabinetry. The ample bathroom, ideally located between the living room and bedroom and perfect for guests, is also windowed and features a glass-enclosed bathtub and shower, Toto fixtures and porcelain subway tile. The spacious, South-facing bedroom offers serene privacy and a deep closet which along with the unit's other large closets, provides abundant opportunities for storage. And finally, an affordable monthly maintenance makes this a highly attractive investment for the discerning buyer. The Whitby, famously profiled in the New York Times, was designed by the esteemed architect Emery Roth (The San Remo, The Beresford) and completed in 1923. This 217-unit, noble structure, renowned for its impressive three sturdy bays and rippling brick cornice, is located on West 45th Street between 8th and 9th Aves in the heart of NYC's fabled theatre district. The Whitby is a full-service co-op and features one of the most spectacular roof decks in Midtown West with 360 degree, open city views. Amenities include a 24/7 doorman, new laundry room, storage, bike room, FIOS and a grand, newly renovated, Art Deco-inspired lobby. It is convenient to all major transportation and an abundance of restaurants, cafes and entertainment. The Whitby is pied-a-terre, co-purchasing and pet-friendly.
