Description
PRICE REDUCTION! Located on one of the upper East Side's most beautiful tree-lined streets, this spacious, sophisticated, ground-floor townhouse apartment is graced with high ceilings, a flexible floor plan, and a delightfully private, large, south-facing garden. One enters the apartment through a gracious foyer with coat closet leading into the elegant living room/dining room with a big interior window, a built-in bar, and a corridor with curved arches leading to the bedroom and 1.5 baths. Both the powder room and the large primary bathroom have been attractively renovated. The almost square bedroom has three ample closets behind louver doors and a decorative fireplace with mantle flanked by built-in bookcases. On the south wall is a tall Palladian window with central fan light and two flanking sets of double French doors opening on to the amazing 24'x15' garden with its walls strikingly inset with lava stone. The fully equipped kitchen, at the front of the apartment beside the front door, has a stackable washer/dryer and a new Whirlpool gas range that is still under warranty. This unusual offering, in good estate condition, presents a unique opportunity to create a very special home with rare outdoor space in a sought-after neighborhood. Truly a listing not to be missed! Storage unit and laundry in basement. This coop building has a part-time super and allows pets as well as pied a terres. 75% financing permitted.

About Upper East Side
View All Upper East Side ListingsThe Upper East Side remains the gold standard for classic New York elegance. Known for 'Museum Mile' and its quiet, 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.
