This is Manhattan living at its best – in Summit: an architecturally significant, co-op penthouse. This is an all brick, English-style dwelling, built in 1924. Amazingly, with 53 units, almost no two are alike. The driveway is graced by a beautiful archway through which you gain entry to the backyard and garages. At the Parmley Co-ops, there are five individual entrance doorways to separate wings for maximum privacy. This unit includes a one-car garage.

Highlights: six rooms including a large living room; two large bedrooms; den; refurbished kitchen and bath; all rooms with 9-foot ceilings; wood floors throughout; and excellent closet/storage space. Newer thermal windows provide lots of sun and views of west and south exposures. Municipal taxes and all common expenses are included in the monthly maintenance fee and there is an on-site superintendent, 24-hours a day. Individual storage unit #7 is located in the basement as well as laundry facilities.
