Beautiful and sunny with an enormous south facing window, this over-sized studio with a separate sleeping area will be your private oasis. Enter into the gracious foyer that can be used as a dining area and then step down into your spacious living room with beamed ceilings, herringbone floors, gorgeous decorative fireplace, prewar details and a large casement window.

The kitchen and bathroom are both windowed. Off the entry foyer is a separate room with a walk-in closet. It can be used as an office or with some work it can turn into a sleeping nook. There are wonderful art deco details throughout, a decorative fireplace, and abundant closet space. The beloved novelist, Oscar Hijuelos, known to fans worldwide as the author of the Pulitzer-Prize winning The Mambo Kings Play Songs of Love, wrote six novels and his memoir in this apartment from 1996 to 2013. His creative and intellectual energies were fueled by the peace, light, and grace of these walls.
