Property Details
Description
New Look! Newly styled & decorated with a newly imagined & visualized virtual staging!
Imagine living in this exquisite & elegant Art Deco gem!
If you have an eye for design, this blank canvas allows you to explore all the many possibilities of living the high life in grand style!
This is a rare opportunity to own an oversized 1BR apartment (Junior 4) with an ideal layout in a full-service, white-glove building in a prime Upper East Side location.
Noted architect Jacob M. Felson designed this stately cooperative in 1927. The exterior facade is adorned with carved limestone shells. Entering the building, you step into the heyday of luxury, style and exuberance, a time of fine craftsmanship and rich materials. The lobby is ornamented with black marble walls, terrazzo floors, and latticed windows.
The original mahogany-paneled elevator has newly restored cars – with your private fob “key” you are transported to your boutique landing shared only by a few neighbors on your floor.
The apartment’s elegant entry foyer welcomes you into an ample, double-windowed living room, which flows into the generous, windowed kitchen, with its adjacent dining area/home office, an ideal space for today’s “work from home” lifestyle. Outfitted with white wood cabinets, the kitchen has a convenient service entrance, and is ready to be renovated or restored.
Overlooking the treetops, bright Northern sunlight streams into the spacious bedroom, which has plenty of extra room for a chaise lounge or loveseat, a desk, bookcases, and dressers.
Hardwood floors, high-beamed ceilings, generous closets and classic pre-war details round out this wonderful home, a tabula rasa for your own perfect design. The multitude of configurations and concepts is limited only by your imagination.
Perhaps you wish to imagine an art deco oasis of opulence and comfort, of maximalist glitz and glamour covered in lacquer, chrome, and mirrored finishes.
Or perhaps you prefer the sleek simplicity of a minimalist, mid-century modern look.
Whatever you choose, you can do it with money to spare in this, one of the best-valued pre-war 1BRs on the Upper East Side.

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.
