Description

A rare Upper East Side garden duplex, this home offers the space and feel of townhouse living with the convenience of a boutique condominium. Currently configured as a two-bedroom, two-and-a-half-bathroom home, the flexible layout allows for an easy conversion to a three-bedroom residence. The home's standout feature is its exceptional 1,054 square feet of private outdoor space, seamlessly connected to both levels and creating a truly unique indoor-outdoor lifestyle. Whether entertaining, dining al fresco, or simply enjoying a quiet escape, the landscaped garden serves as a natural extension of the living space. The open-concept living and dining area is complemented by a beautifully appointed Pedini kitchen featuring Petra Grigio quartz surfaces, an Absolute Blanc Vadara peninsula, and a suite of premium appliances by Sub-Zero, Wolf, Miele, and Summit. The lower level offers a spacious recreation room with direct garden access, a powder room, Bosch washer and dryer, and versatile space ideal for a media room, home office, gym, or guest suite. The primary suite features a spa-inspired bath with radiant heated floors, Arabescato marble, and custom finishes, while secondary baths are equally refined with carefully selected stone and porcelain materials. Designed by acclaimed architect Andres Escobar, this intimate six-residence condominium blends contemporary design with timeless craftsmanship. With a virtual doorman and thoughtfully curated interiors, this home offers a rare opportunity for sophisticated indoor-outdoor living in one of the Upper East Side's most sought-after locations.

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.
