Property Description

This is a beautifully renovated and maintained corner unit at the Lenox Condominiums. It is on the southeast corner of the building on a high floor with great light and views from three bay windows. It is the largest one-bedroom unit at the Lenox, as large as most two-bedroom units, and has one of the nicest layouts. It was originally designed for one of the developers to live in. The elegant entry vestibule has direct access via three archways to the living room, combined open dining room and kitchen, and the bedroom suite. The large living room has two bay windows with southern and eastern views, built-in custom bookcases, and a ceiling fan. The dining room has two south facing windows and two wall sconces. The kitchen has been completely renovated with custom cabinets, stainless steel appliances, and granite counter tops. At roughly 21’ x 25’ the bedroom suite is very large and includes a lounge area and a bed alcove. The lounge area has an original decorative fireplace mantel, custom shelving, bay window, and ceiling fan. The bedroom alcove fits a queen-sized bed with night stands, and the walk-in closet has a custom organizing system. The lounge and bedroom areas can easily be reversed with the smaller area being used as a den and the larger space used as a more formal bedroom. The bathroom has entrances from both the living room and bedroom lounge. The home has central air conditioning via ductless mini-split systems. The Lenox was designed by famed New York architects Clinton and Russell. It was built in 1920 as an apartment building and renovated into condominiums in 2004-5. The units have large scale rooms, high ceilings, lots of windows and most units have many of their original architectural elements. It is a doorman building and is centrally located at the southern end of Mid-town Village in Washington Square West neighborhood. It is two blocks from the great shops, restaurants, theatres, Kimmel Center and night life of Midtown Village, Walnut Street, and the Avenue of the Arts. It is also just a few blocks from Thomas Jefferson and Pennsylvania Hospitals. There are many gym, parking, and public transportation options nearby. The Lenox has a large central laundry room, but the association allows owners to install individual units within their condos, with some restrictions and installation requirements. Condominium fees include a 24/7 door staff, heat, hot water, and high-speed internet. The owners pay their own electric and Cable TV. The association offers additional storage for a small fee. It is a pet friendly building. The association plans to replace the three elevators in the next 18 months and the seller plans to pay the assessment in full prior to settlement provided they receive an acceptable offer. There is a gated parking space behind the building that is for sale for $70,000.
