Time travel to an era when grand scale was the rule, guided by the lavish living of Morgans and Vanderbilts who kept a fireplace in every one of their baronial rooms. Preserved in all of its fin de siecle glory along with its majestic WBFP is Apartment 3F, a sumptuous two bedroom residence at the Musicians' Building located in the center of what is known as The West 67th Street Artists' Colony Historic District, former home to Isadora Duncan, George Balanchine and Rudolph Valentino for a good reason. As the National Register of Historic Places has noted, "This enclave [defined by historic buildings like 50 West 67th Street and the Des Artistes] is unique in illustrating an important chapter in New York's history of artistic preeminence." The plan of this impressive dwelling imitates, in a much reduced form, the layout of a 19th C mansion. One enters a welcoming vestibule which leads through a panel of exquisite French doors to an oversized salon crowned by extra-high ceilings and warmed by a roaring fire blazing away below its oversized period mantel. There are two fine bedrooms and an ample, updated eat-in kitchen. Original architectural detail has been carefully restored. George Herbert had it right: "Living well is the best revenge." Pied-a-terre allowed.
Additional features of this property include: Oversized Pella windows (46" wide by 78" tall), Walls between apartments are approx 4' wide, Original oak floors, newly refinished, Storage bin 4' X 5' X 10' comes with apt, Southern garden view, good light, and Grand scale wood-burning fireplace.

Upper West Side
Upper West, from Central Park West to the Hudson River, 57th Street to 110th Street.
Every ten blocks of the Upper West Side seem to have their own character: the 70s and 80s have their share of “Classic Six” prewar apartments (that’s three bedrooms, a living room, dining room, and kitchen, as opposed to a “Classic Seven,” which has all that plus a room for the maid or domestic staff, sometimes used as a home office.) Along Riverside Drive on the Upper West Side, there are contain some grand-scale apartment buildings with magnificent river views to match the street’s name. Meanwhile, the southern bit of the Upper West Side embraces the Time Warner Center, which has some of the most spectacular luxury condos in the city, along with high-end shops like Coach and Hugo Boss, once-in-a-lifetime eateries like Per Se, and a giant subterranean Whole Foods that seems to hold every resident of the Upper West Side at once.
