This expansive and extraordinary one-bedroom comes to market for the first time in 30 years! Take advantage of this rare opportunity to own a one-of-a-kind sanctuary located in the mystique-infused Whitby where such notable 20th Century icons as Doris Day, George Burns and Al Capone spent their days and nights. Because of its historic character, this apartment has also served as a location set for HBO’s The Deuce.
This quiet home, part of the largest one-bedroom line in the building, retains all of its original, 1920s classic detail. A long and dramatic entry hallway can easily accommodate an expansive library wall or hanging art gallery. You are then welcomed into the generously sized living room with its oak floors, high, beamed ceilings and crown moldings. Oversized windows with Northern exposures filter extraordinarily beautiful sunlight. The kitchen is windowed and has the potential to be opened up to create an impressive dining space. The ample bathroom is ideally situated between the living room and bedroom, perfect for guests. It is also windowed and has been renovated with classic subway tile and a pedestal sink while retaining its vintage bathtub. The large bedroom, separated from the living room by a foyer, offers quiet privacy and is bathed in light. Large closets provide abundant opportunities for storage.
The Whitby, recently 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 roofdecks 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.
