Description

A New Home for a New Year! This beautifully laid-out, large, sunny Junior 4 has the all important Three L's -- Layout, Light and Location. Sunshine fills this apartment from large west facing windows in both the living area and the bedroom (black out shade included for those who like to sleep late!). The open L shaped living space easily accommodates a separate living, dining and home office area. The large Master Bedroom can comfortably hold a king-sized bed, night tables and dressers while still leaving plenty of room to walk around. Long day at work? The dining area comes with a custom wine fridge you can fill with your favorites. Wine not your thing? Take a soak in the jacuzzi tub in your marble bathroom and feel the day's stress melt away. Multiple custom California Closets and additional built-ins maximize storage and make staying organized a breeze. Detailed crown and foot molding add a level of elegance to this beautiful home. Perfectly situated in the heart of the Upper East Side, the Lenox House is a full-service well established, post-war cooperative built in 1963. The building has a 24 hour doorman, full functioning fitness center with free weights, machines and cardio equipment, not to mention central laundry, room for bike storage and a multipurpose room. Sorry but no pets or smoking 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.
