Description

Unique, alluring, and architecturally intriguing, once part of a sprawling 9 room duplex maisonette with individual entrance, this truly incredible apartment is a rare and wonderful find. Off the elegant building lobby, the front door unveils a very special space beyond. An impressive staircase lead to an large open area currently configured as a living room/dining area with windows overlooking the building’s beautiful flower garden.

Two oversized south facing windows offer great natural light and stunning garden views year round. High ceilings, decorative fireplace, and prewar detail add to the extraordinary ambience of the interior space. A delightful corner primary bedroom overlooks the garden as well.

It has a renovated en suite bath and ample closets in the bedroom hall. Under the staircase is a charming powder room for guests. The spacious renovated windowed eat-in kitchen accommodates a small table and chairs.

Both additional bedrooms face south overlooking the manicured gardens. These rooms share a hall bath. The apartment has its own washer and dryer and comes with a huge storage bin. You will not find anything like this on the market today!

The apartment is in ideal, move-in condition.

Prime Location - At the corner of 68 Street and Park Avenue, this full-service, pet-friendly, well-established cooperative is situated for convenient access to the Upper East Side’s cultural interests, restaurants, shops, museums, schools, and Central Park just 2 blocks away. Easy access to Midtown, the cross town on 67th Street, and #6 subway one block east.
