Description

Don't bring your architect. This apartment was already designed by a talented one and is truly turn-key. Inside, #22R is crisp, clean, and maximizes every square inch. There is a place for everything, and everything is in its place. Upon entering, you will see this sun-bathed apartment faces south and features white-washed 8 inch plank floors and recessed lighting. The wide vestibule with shelving opens on to the living area, which is large enough for a six-seat dining table. To the left, the kitchen features sleek and durable Caesarstone countertops, and stainless steel appliances. The bath includes a custom walk-in shower with glass partition. Both rooms are finished by Volcano Bianco porcelain tiles. Storage is excellent with large closets in both the hall and the queen-sized bedroom. The quality of the building matches the unit. Continental Towers Condominiums is renowned for top-notch luxury living at low monthly cost. The full-service building includes round the clock doormen, concierges, a live-in super, laundry, gym, landscaped roof deck, additional storage, and parking garage. Outside, the best of the Upper East Side is at your fingertips. It is close to excellent grocery stores including Agata & Valentina, Eli's Market, Whole Foods and Fairway, and local favorites like The Penrose, JG Melon, Boqueria, and Gracie Mews. If you must leave the neighborhood the building is ideally positioned only minutes between the 6 and the Q trains. Call today and call Continental Towers home.

The Upper East Side remains the gold standard for classic New York elegance. Known for 'Museum Mile' and its low-traffic, tree-lined streets, the neighborhood offers a refined lifestyle away from the midtown bustle. While famous for its historic cooperatives, the area has seen a recent surge in ultra-luxury new construction condos, particularly along the Second Avenue Subway corridor, making it a top choice for both traditionalists and modern buyers.
