The sweet foyer unfolds into a space currently used as a dining gallery ? well situated by the upgraded kitchen and dining bar. The king-sized bedroom suite offers dual designer closets, an elegant distance from the living/dining rooms, ultra-quiet City Windows, and is served by an upgraded, dual-sink, windowed, well-planned, designer bathroom. With an enviable array of designer closets and storage, thoughtful finishes, a smart/gracious layout, and those glorious five-star views, this big beauty is easy-to-live and easy-to-love.

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.
