Welcome to your sophisticated sanctuary!

The minute you open the door to this unexpected gem, you feel like you just entered another world. You are wowed by the grand scale of this oversized one bedroom with a desirable open concept. You marvel at the natural light that will flow in all day thanks to double exposure (ideal Eastern light in the morning and delightful Western light in the afternoon). It gets better when you realize that you will be able to have the best of both worlds in such refined setting. An extensive renovation kept all the timeless charm of this prewar beauty: gorgeous solid wood floors throughout, high ceilings, tall windows, exquisite architectural details, a decorative fireplace and a marble bath. It also added all the modern convenience: marble countertop, high-end stainless steel appliances (Viking range, Liebherr fridge, Miehle dishwasher), bespoke ceruse Wenge cabinetry, lavish custom window treatments, beautifully crafted built-ins and closets.

The Bayard House is a highly sought after co-op right in the middle of the Upper East Side. It is quite unique as it is comprised of an original Georgian-style red brick 4-story walk-up and a 27-story high-rise tower. The two sections are connected by a striking glass breezeway, surrounded by mature landscaping, water fountains and manicured gardens. This side of the prewar building is accessed from the lobby, through the garden and up 29 outdoor steps to the white front door (see pictures). Once inside, 3E is located one flight up, on the 2nd floor (16 steps).

The Bayard House is an elegant full-service building that is meticulously run by the live-in Resident Manager. The attentive staff caters to your every need (24-hour concierge, porters and handymen). Everything offered to the residents delivers the best quality of life: the roof deck with spectacular views, the state-of-the-art fitness center, the bike room and luggage room, the extensive resident library, 2 laundry rooms and a garage on site. It is a welcome oasis in prime Lenox Hill, and everything you can possibly need or want is just minutes away: endless shopping and fine dining options, public transportation (Q train a block away, 6 train nearby).

Pets are welcome. 75% financing allowed and 2% flip tax paid by buyer. Co-purchasing, guarantors and pieds-a-terre are all permitted with Board approval, but subletting is not. Washer /Dryer not allowed in the unit.
