This two-bedroom home at 258 Saint Nicholas Avenue reveals an architect’s eye for both clean lines and convenient living. Asking $1,395,000, the 1,331-square-foot apartment’s interior was completely redesigned by the current owners with flexibility and modern design in mind: Two rooms become one via sliding panel; closets, electronics, and shelves recede into sleek white walls, and floor-to-ceiling glass fills spaces with sunlight and city views.
The apartment’s great room is an open living and entertaining space that can be easily transformed into two separate spaces. Floor-to-ceiling windows frame the blue sky and Manhattan skyline, and a glass-paned door opens onto a Juliet balcony that’s perfect for your container garden.
Built-in shelves hold books or collections. Throughout, you’ll find designer lighting, smoke-toned hardwood floors, and motorized blinds.
The living/dining room turns into a private screening room when a sliding glass panel reveals a built-in TV. Two opposite rooms on one end of the living room can be used as a small bedroom, office, or den space, or combined into one large room by opening the sliding panel doors that separate them.
Modern kitchen cabinets combine the look of clean white European style and the sophistication of rich wood. Iron red granite tops a rounded island that can be transformed into a bar, with glass doors that conceal small appliances. Additional highlights include built-in lighting, a paneled refrigerator, and a concealed washer and dryer.
The apartment’s extra-large primary bedroom is wrapped in built-in storage; a hallway lined with closets leads to a spacious marble primary bath with its own bespoke built-ins. There is an additional full bath just off the front hall area.
The Dwyer condominium is a full-service residence offering a 24-hour door attendant, a live-in super, a landscaped and furnished roof deck, and bike storage. A 421-a tax abatement is in place to offset taxes.
