Bring your architect to this rare and special one (1) bedroom home in this boutique pre-war (1910) townhouse cooperative apartment in estate condition. Located on a beautiful tree-lined street between Lexington and Third Avenues overlooking stately carriage houses, this ideal pied-a-terre or full-time residence combines the elegance and old-world charm of townhouse living with the conveniences and community offered by a cooperative. Upon entering the apartment, one is immediately struck by the soaring 10’9 ceilings and tremendous light flooding in from the three oversized windows in the south-facing living room.

With its impressive grand proportions, working wood-burning fireplace, and built-in bookshelves, the living room is perfect for entertaining or quiet enjoyment. Off the entrance gallery there is a kitchen, a large closet that could house a washer/dryer with board approval, and a long hallway leading to the bedroom. The bedroom is extremely large, quiet, has abundant closet space and overlooks the building’s beautifully landscaped garden. 157 East 75th Street does not have a doorman but does have a live-in resident manager who receives packages, an elevator, a laundry room in the basement, and a large planted garden for residents’ use. With some TLC this could be a magnificent home in the best location on the Upper East Side, just moments from Orsay, William Poll, JG Melon’s, and Citarella. Pets and pieds-a-terre allowed.

Up to 50% financing allowed. 1% flip tax paid by the purchaser. A storage closet trades with the apartment. Some photos have been virtually staged.
