300 E 71ST Street #18C

A terrace. A washer dryer. A quiet high floor. A bonus room that evolves with you. This is the one. High above Lenox Hill, renovated and wrapped in light with nearly 1,000 sf of indoor and outdoor space, Residence 18C is designed for real living. Eastern exposure floods the home with year-round sun beams, while the high floor delivers a level of calm that feels worlds away from the city below. Every detail of the renovation reflects intention and quality. The kitchen is beautifully open and thoughtfully designed, flowing seamlessly into the living space and making it ideal for both everyday living and entertaining. Generous quartz countertops provide abundant prep space for cooking, complemented by extensive storage within solid wood cabinetry. A classic subway tile backsplash adds timeless character, while elegant pendant lighting defines the space with warmth and style. Appliances include a Bosch oven, LG washer/dryer and refrigerator, Samsung dishwasher, GE microwave, and a dedicated wine fridge - creating a kitchen that is as functional as it is inviting for gathering and hosting. The living room is bright and beautifully proportioned, with oversized eastern-facing windows that fill the space with sunlight and frame open city views. High-floor positioning ensures exceptional quiet while maintaining a true connection to the skyline. There is a natural openness to the layout, comfortably accommodating full seating and entertaining with ease. European White Oak flooring runs throughout, adding warmth and continuity, while the light, neutral finishes create a calm and sophisticated atmosphere. The expansive terrace is over 30 feet long with enough room for separate zones including gardening, entertaining, and full seating area (yes a couch fits comfortably). It invites morning coffee in the sun, autumn dinners outdoors, and year-round hosting with open sky as your backdrop. The layout is both refined and flexible. A gracious primary bedroom anchors the home including plenty of room for a desk. The bedroom is complete with a huge walk-in closet for all your clothing, shoes, and storage needs. A separate bonus room offers the kind of optionality buyers rarely find - guest room, nursery, home office, or creative studio. This is a home you can grow into without outgrowing. Perfectly positioned in the heart of Lenox Hill, transportation is effortless with the 72nd Street Q train on the block, as well as nearby 6 train access and convenient crosstown buses. Enjoy neighborhood favorites including Nightly's, Hoexter's, Delizia Pizza, Crave Fishbar, and JG Melon, along with Cognac, Cafe Commerce, Boqueria, Up Thai, Tacombi, and Ko Sushi. Daily conveniences are equally close - the Apple Store, Equinox, New York Sports Club, Morton Williams, Citarella, Grace's Marketplace, Target, Whole Foods, and Ouri's. With board approval the co-op warmly welcomes pets, co-purchasing, guarantors and pied-a-terre's. Subletting permitted 3 out of 3 every 5 years with board approval. Other notable features include a 24-hour doorman, resident super, roof deck, newly furnished ground floor gym, recently redone hallways, a brand new lobby, a parking garage, storage, free bicycle storage, luggage room, FIOS, newly renovated elevators and a central laundry room. Residence 18C is the rare Upper East Side offering that balances serenity, sunlight, outdoor space, and flexibility - all in a fully realized, move-in-ready home.
