回到旧纽约的岁月吧！这套位于1900年建成的公寓，坐落于镀金时代的尾声和维多利亚时代的消退年间，超越了时间的界限。71西街25号最初建造时是为了一个上层社会的家庭，正值19世纪进入20世纪之际。如今这栋房子有四个单元，1R公寓占据了整个客厅楼层。那个时代的客厅楼层享有最高的天花板和最精致的细节，展现出主人最好的风范，以迎接来宾。

走进如今被视为“大厅”的空间时，很容易因空间的体量和丰富的细节而失去焦点。12英尺的天花板上悬挂着橡木梁装饰的天花板，沿着周边设有大方柱。人字形地板、8英寸的门、华丽的包边、都铎风格的橡木镶板墙以及一座宏伟的瓷砖装饰壁炉。这间宽敞的房间既可用作起居室又可用作餐厅。

一间走廊厨房紧邻主房间，还有一个家庭办公室和第二间卧室，两者都可以欣赏到后花园的绿意。在公寓前面，有一间朝南的大主卧室，7英尺高的窗户配有原装百叶窗，窗外可以看到71街的街景。人们很容易想象到马车或者早期的手摇汽车等候在你家门外。这套房子配备中央空调。

这个位置非常优秀。除了离中央公园仅几步之遥，你还离72街和哥伦布大街的商店非常近。对于艺术爱好者而言，你只需步行几步就可到达林肯中心，享受其所提供的一切。总之，这是一套位于最佳位置的神奇公寓。

Take a step back into old New York! Built in 1900 at the very end of the Gilded Age, and during the waning years of the Victorian era, this parlor floor home transcends time. 25 West 71st Street was originally built as a single-family home, for what would have been an upper-class family, just as the 19th century turned clock to the 20th. Now home to four units, Apartment 1R occupies the entire parlor floor. The parlor floors of the era enjoyed the highest ceilings and most elaborate detail putting the owner's best foot forward as they welcomed guests.

Upon entering what today would be viewed as the "great room', it's easy to lose focus as your eye is overwhelmed by the volume of the space and all its rich detail. 12" ceilings are topped by an oak beamed coffered ceiling with large korbel's along the perimeter. Herringbone floors, 8" doors, ornate casing, Tudor style oak paneled walls and a grand encaustic tile trimmed fireplace. This large room serves as both living and dining.

A galley kitchen is just off the main room as is a home office and second bedroom with both enjoying the greenery of a rear garden view. To the front of the apartment, you find a sizeable south facing master bedroom whose 7" tall windows, with original shutters, frame a street view of West 71st Street. It's easy to imagine looking out to a horse drawn carriage or one of the earliest hand crank automobiles waiting outside your door. The home enjoys central AC.

The location is exceptional. In addition to being just a few steps from entering Central Park, you are just around the corner from the extensive line-up of shops on West 72nd Street and Columbus Avenue. For the arts you are just a stroll to Lincoln Center and all it has to offer. All in all, a magical apartment in the finest of locations.
