First time on the market ever. This stately home encompasses the 2nd floor corner of the highly-coveted Hamilton, with ALL rooms having direct or partial park views and seasonal river views. Bring your vision (and your contractor) as you step into history, with all the original details realized by famed architect Gaetan Ajello untouched and unadulterated. Owned and treasured by renowned art critic and philosopher Arthur Danto and his wife Barbara Westman (most notable for her New Yorker cover illustrations), this meandering residence still emanates joy and delight, in every one of the seven rooms that are brightly lit from the south and the west. From the entry foyer leading to a spacious gallery, framed by two sets of French doors and the staff hallway leading to the bedroom wing, enter the formal dining room graced with 7-foot oak moldings and majestic beamed ceilings. Pass through another set of French doors to the adjoining double grand living room, still adorned with a porcelain-tiled decorative fireplace. Classic in appearance and character, with 6-foot windows in every room, near 10-foot ceilings, and inlaid mahogany-accented oak hardwood floors throughout, this sprawling 2,200+/- sf prewar gem represents both a storied past and a unique chance to personalize your future. The Hamilton is a pristine full-service building with a magnificent marble lobby, 24-hour doorman, a resident manager, handyman and porter, at the heart of the Columbia University area, with top dining, shopping, markets and excellent transportation steps away. Amenities include a large, fully-equipped gym, a furnished rooftop garden, a full-size laundry room, private storage, bicycle storage, pet care area, and a children's playroom/conference room. And with sound financial status this co-op enjoys a remarkably low maintenance.
