Description

Perfectly situated on the 11th Floor of a prewar co-operative, this sun-flooded glamorous home is in mint condition. You enter the apartment from a grand entrance foyer with a coat closet. This leads to the expansive living room with two picturesque windows that face East. Next is a beautifully renovated windowed kitchen. A chefs dream, the kitchen also faces East with custom cabinets and two storage closets. Stocked with top of the line appliances including a Subzero refrigerator/freezer, Subzero wine refrigerator, Viking double oven, Viking six-burner range and grilddle, and a Viking dishwasher, it provides a gorgeous venue for cooking and entertaining. Finally, you arrive at the corner bedroom with two windows facing East and North. It is an oversized room with two large closets. There is also a linen closet. Completing the apartment is a windowed renovated bathroom. The bathroom is elegantly decorated and outfitted with Waterworks fixtures. Radiantly renovated, the apartment has delicately designed beamed ceilings and moldings as well as hardwood floors. This impeccably run white-glove co-operative is superbly staffed. There is a full-time doorman, laundry room, bicycle room, private garden and a live-in resident manager. The building allows up to 75% financing and there is a 2% flip tax paid by the purchaser. Pied-a-terres are allowed.

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.
