Description

Bathed in light with treetop views from every room and through its many windows, this 2BR/2.5BTH pin-drop quiet home is located on one of the city’s most charming and beautiful blocks. Open the door to an unusually large entry, a room in and of itself, ideal for visiting guests or home office. Straight ahead is an expansive area that includes huge living room, large eat-in kitchen and generous dining area with big bay window offering three exposures.

There are two, primary-bedroom wings, each with walk-in closet and bath ensuite plus additional closets. Throughout, all rooms have their own HVAC units and rich, parquet floors. Perfect for entertaining or simply your own personal comfort, it’s a marvelous home with flexible layout ....

ideal just as it is or easily transformed by your vision.

The Townsend was built as a cooperative in 1962 and is consistently one of the most sought after on the UES. And for good reason. In addition to the neighborhood feel you get from the small shops and restaurants on Lexington Avenue, it offers white glove service with doorman and concierge, live-in resident manager, fully equipped gym, private storage that conveys with the apartment, bike and laundry rooms... and is a coop where pied-a-terre are permitted.

Is there any wonder it is on the short list of so many?

Note: Monthly surcharge of $120.69 instituted during covid to make up for lost revenue from commercial-space. As of 7/17/24, per mnging agent, no end date yet.
