Description

Day or Night, a Terrace Lover's Delight! Boasting Magical Protected River and City Skyline Views from the living room and bedroom, each with its own Private Outdoor Oasis (Yes, TWO Spectacular Outdoor Terraces!). There is no outdoor space above it to distract from its beauty and privacy. Just in time for summer al fresco living for the buyer who desires it all.

Apartment 19A is a one of a kind home with Established Hydrangeas, Fully Irrigated Terraced planters, Electric Awnings, Furnished Outdoor Lounge Chairs and Dining Table, and an Italianate Limestone Fountain, setting the tone for Serenity, Entertaining, or just reclining to indulge in a Glorious Sunset. The Size of a Two Bedroom (Approx 1140 interior sfeet/ 350 exterior sfeet) this Luxuriously Sized One Bedroom Home with Oversized Rooms, Built-In Storage, a Huge Walk-In Closet, Open Kitchen, and Sun-Flooded Dining Alcove, is for the Upper East Side Homeowner who enjoys Celebrating Life from a Perfectly Perched Indoor/Outdoor Haven.

If desired, the flexible layout has potential to accommodate two bedrooms with an extra bathroom (or half bathroom), pending coop board approval. The primary bedroom with en-suite terrace easily accommodates a king-sized bed and multiple pieces of furniture.

The Spacious Windowed Bathroom has direct access from the bedroom, but also opens off the Common Hallway. In addition to many closets, the huge walk-in closet is a true Dressing Area unto itself. Windowed Galley Kitchen is Open to the Terrace/City Views, and Dining Alcove.

Modernized in a Clean White/Black/Gray palate with added accent lighting, stainless steel appliances and Granite countertops, this kitchen is ready to serve!

Apt 19A can easily change aesthetic, if one wanted to have white walls, and more contemporary furniture. The current owner is an interior designer and has decorated in a fun and vibrant vibe, but the kitchen and bathroom have been renovated in white/black clean finishes, such that a change of wall color and decor would allow any buyer with different preferences to pivot to accommodate their own taste.

East River House is a 24HR Doorman Co-op with Resident Superintendent, Porter, and attended garage connected to the building and assessable through the basement (reduced fee). Excellent Building Financials that allowed the building to undergo a complete renovation with NO ASSESSMENTS.

Coop allows addition of Washer/Dryer w board approval. 1 Dog allowed per bldg policy. Guarantors, gifting and co-purchasing is allowed on a case-by-case basis w/Board. Carl Schultz Park with a Dog Run & Expansive Playground , John Jay Park both only a few short blocks away along the historic and panoramic East River Esplanade.

Easy access to the 2nd ave Subway, and Cross Town Bus. Enjoy your country home in the city at this Vibrant Yorkville Location!
