1br, Upper East Side, Manhattan, $2,353

Exposed brick, soaring ceilings, and magnificent wood work all lend pre-war elegance and charm to this beautiful townhouse apartment. The center piece of its spacious living area is a spectacular fireplace and mirrored mantle. Being on the parlor level, its ceilings are incredibly high. Wainscoting and hardwood flooring are perfectly accentuated by walls of exposed brick. There is also a renovated eat-in-kitchen and a remodeled bath. Located on a quiet tree lined street less than a half block form Central Park, this space is perfectly balanced between the shops and restaurants of Columbus Avenue and the serenity of Central Park.
