205 E 124th Street #3BC

Welcome to Residence 3BC, a fully renovated, combined two-bedroom home (with the potential to be converted into a three-bedroom), featuring two bathrooms in a recently updated HDFC cooperative. Impeccably renovated with a refined minimalist aesthetic and spanning the entire length of the building, this exceptional residence sits just two flights up and offers a rare combination of scale, light, and flexibility. With two separate entrances and approximately 1,180 square feet of living space, the thoughtfully designed layout easily accommodates distinct areas for relaxing, entertaining, dining, and working from home. The south-facing great room is flooded with natural light from five windows and is anchored by a charming bay window and decorative fireplace. Expansive proportions allow for multiple seating and dining configurations, while also offering the opportunity to create a true third, windowed bedroom, home office, or den, without compromising the openness of the living space. The chef’s kitchen is a true showpiece, blending sophisticated design with top-tier functionality. Centered around a dramatic oversized Carrara island with seating for four, the space features premium slab countertops and full-height backsplash surfaces, abundant storage above and below, and sleek European-style cabinetry with contemporary lift-up upper cabinet doors for effortless access and clean architectural lines. Two windows bring in additional natural light and enhance the airy feel of the space. The kitchen is outfitted with a Bertazzoni gas range, built-in Miele Speed Oven/Microwave, counter-depth built-in Gaggenau refrigerator with bottom freezer drawer and icemaker, an additional built-in freezer drawer, Miele dishwasher, and a separate wine refrigerator. Designed for both everyday living and entertaining, the kitchen also features a deep stainless-steel workstation sink with integrated accessories, along with a dedicated water filtration system and separate filtered drinking waterspout for added convenience. The generous footprint easily accommodates an additional dining table, making the space ideal for gathering and hosting. Serving as a private retreat, the primary suite enjoys double exposure with three oversized windows and ample room for both bedroom and work-from-home configurations. The spa-inspired en-suite primary bath features oversized porcelain tile, a floating wood vanity with integrated sink, wall-mounted bidet-style toilet, and a sleek glass-enclosed walk-in shower with rainfall shower head and windowed exposure, creating a serene boutique hotel-like experience. The secondary bedroom is generously proportioned and comfortably accommodates a queen-size bed while still offering flexibility for additional furnishings, a nursery setup, a guest room, or a home office. Thoughtfully designed with two windows, custom closet storage, and hardwood flooring, the room enjoys excellent natural light and a calm, airy atmosphere that complements the home’s modern aesthetic. Equally sophisticated, the secondary windowed bath includes a deep soaking tub with a shower combination, custom recessed niches, a floating vanity, integrated lighting, and sleek modern fixtures. Finished with oversized porcelain tile and minimalist detailing, both baths deliver a cohesive and elevated design experience. Additional features include hardwood floors throughout, central air conditioning, and a dedicated in-residence laundry closet with a Bosch washer and dryer.
