Description

Nestled in the heart of a serene and tree-lined Upper East Side enclave, this generously proportioned, 5-room home (2 BRs, 2 Bths + FDR) is a standout and represents the finest in Manhattan living.

The well-conceived layout is ideal for meeting the daily needs of busy New Yorkers as well as providing for gracious entertaining. An extra-long entrance hall - perfect for displaying photos or artwork and enhanced by 3 closets (including 1 walk-in) leads to an impressive living room to the east and a formal dining room to the west. Optimally sized for informal dining and leisure activities, this room can readily accommodate large gatherings or sizable dinner parties.

Adjacent to the dining room is the renovated, windowed kitchen, an inviting space that adds to the comfort of this desirable home.

Outfitted with stainless steel appliances, endless custom cabinets and a W/D, the kitchen boasts a service entrance for added convenience.

The oversized primary bedroom can easily serve multiple functions - perhaps a desk area or chaise lounge for the ultimate in relaxation. Completing the primary suite is a meticulously cared for original bath. A second sizable master with an identical bath offers leafy views, complete privacy and outstanding storage.

The apartment is shielded from the bustle of urban life with city windows on the Third Avenue side.

In addition to the enormous closet space within the apartment, this home transfers with a dedicated storage locker. Building residents also enjoy a no-fee fitness center, an attractive bulk rate cable package and biannual window cleaning.

Originally built as a co-op, this much-loved, white-glove building is distinguished by its intimate feel (only three apartments per floor), exceptional staff and brilliant location. Please don’t miss this opportunity. We have ready access to this residence and we would be delighted to arrange a private showing or answer any questions you might have.
