Stylish one-bedroom in the boutique, pre-war Westmore near vibrant Columbus Circle

Step into this grand one-bedroom with pleasing proportions on the top floor of The Westmore, an eight-story art deco building on architecturally iconic 57th Street between 8th and 9th Avenues near Columbus Circle, Central Park, the Theater and Midtown Business Districts, Lincoln Center, and an array of world-class museums, jazz venues, galleries, restaurants, and more.

One flight up directly across the hallway is an extensive, tranquil, furnished, and beautifully landscaped roof deck, ready for relaxing or grilling. Enjoy peaceful morning coffee, afternoon tea, cocktail parties, or a sunset toast.

On entering the apartment, a gracious entryway adds to the charming open feel and the luxuriously-sized rooms. Classic, period details showcase stunning herringbone and parquet floors, high-beamed ceilings, and oversized bay windows that allow ethereal light to brighten your home all day long. Four built-out closets are right where you need them, serving as a pantry, a coat closet, a walk-in bedroom closet, and one has custom drawers for your home office.

The kitchen has generous counter space and is outfitted with a suite of stainless steel high-end appliances for the discerning chef. At the same time elegant and fun, the 14' x 22' sunken living room adorned with curved wrought iron French-style railings is accented with bay windows that bring in beautiful northern light. Set your dining table in the sizable living space or on the platformed gallery. Opt instead to use the gallery for your home office. The large bedroom is elegant and accommodates a chaise along with a king-sized bed and a dresser.

The Westmore is known for its restored Art Deco marble lobby with peaceful east and west English gardens including an herb garden with fresh basil for tonight's pasta. Amenities include a well-equipped gym, central laundry, and separate storage for bikes, and personal items. All this is in a well-managed, full-service, elevator building complete with first-rate live-in resident manager, able and willing 24-hour doormen, porters, and handyman. This concierge service feels more like a boutique hotel.

Co-op ownership follows more relaxed condominium by-laws which permit subletting from Day 1, pieds-a-terre, and pet-friendly policies. The building welcomes guarantors, gifting, co-purchasing, parents buying for children, and purchase by an LLC or trust. An alternate entrance on 58th Street brings convenient access to Central Park, shops and restaurants, and the 1, A, C, B, and D subway lines at Columbus Circle.

For a serene and sophisticated urban lifestyle in an optimal location, 8B in the Westmore will exceed your expectations.
