Description

Wonderful opportunity to own this bright two bedroom / two bath home at The Finch, located in one of New York’s most exclusive neighborhoods, on a lovely treelined block between Madison and Park. Features of this exceptionally renovated home include a well-designed living / dining room combination with a full wall of custom floor-to-ceiling bookcase/entertainment/storage cabinetry, hardwood floor (continuous throughout the apartment), large windows with a southern exposure, and a ceiling that tops out at 10’ 2". An open chef’s kitchen has been installed with white cabinetry, marble countertops, and stainless-steel appliances.

The primary bedroom suite is complete with a southern exposure, a walk-in closet and fully renovated bath with generous storage. Additionally, a renovated hall bathroom and a second bedroom with a southern exposure completes this special home. This prewar coop building offers a part-time doorman (12pm-8pm Monday-Friday, 2pm-10pm Saturday and Sunday), permits 75% financing, pied-a-terre ownership allowed, pets allowed with board approval (dog - one and less than 50 pounds), resident superintendent, and a laundry room.

The Finch cooperative also has a sister building located at 61 East 77th Street. Both buildings are located a block to Central Park, near to the Metropolitan Museum of Art, The Frick Collection, art galleries, many restaurants, Butterfield Market, public transportation and the best Madison Avenue shopping.
