Description

This exceptional five bedroom townhouse has been thoughtfully renovated to offer the perfect balance of scale and comfort. Designed for elegant indoor and outdoor living, the home is filled with natural light and offers privacy with premier address. Enter on the garden level, where a stunning chef's kitchen serves as the centerpiece of the home, featuring granite countertops, custom maple cabinetry, and full-sized stainless steel appliances. The adjoining formal dining room has a dramatic double-height ceiling that opens to the level above, allowing sunlight to pour in and create an airy, inviting atmosphere. Just beyond, a beautifully landscaped private garden provides a peaceful retreat for outdoor dining. The second floor is designed for both relaxation and entertaining, offering a sophisticated library and living area lined with custom bookshelves and anchored by oversized south-facing windows. French doors open to a Juliet balcony overlooking the garden, while the open layout above the dining room enhances the home's sense of volume and connection. The third floor features two generously proportioned bedrooms, with floor-to-ceiling windows that bathe the space in natural light. The top floor completes the home with two additional bedrooms, also outfitted with floor-to-ceiling windows, providing bright and comfortable accommodations for full time use or guests. Throughout the residence, French doors and Juliet balconies on every level invite the outdoors in, while the garden level opens directly to the lush backyard-creating a seamless flow. Located on a prime stretch of townhouse-lined East 72nd Street, convenient to Q and 6 trains, crosstown busses, and an array of grocery stores including Ouri's, Morton Williams, Whole Foods, and Citarella. Surrounded by the Upper East Side's best shopping and dining, and just 4 blocks to Central Park.
