Description

Welcome to this exquisite and light-filled two-bedroom, two-bathroom residence, ideally located on the corner of Madison Avenue and 68th Street. Meticulously gut-renovated, this home has been completely transformed both inside and out, offering an elevated standard of living. While the elegant finishes and thoughtfully designed layout make an immediate impression, the true crown jewel of the home is the expansive east-facing terrace. Spanning the length of the apartment, it showcases sweeping views of the iconic Upper East Side skyline and creates a seamless integration of indoor and outdoor living. Whether hosting guests or enjoying a tranquil moment alone, this spectacular terrace offers the perfect setting. A welcoming entryway with two closets leads you into the generously sized interior. To the right, the space opens up into a grand, light-filled living and dining room, ideal for both everyday living and entertaining. Adjacent to this space is a versatile room that can be effortlessly configured as a media lounge, stylish home office, or enclosed as a second bedroom with sleek sliding doors. The windowed, open kitchen is positioned just off the living and dining areas, creating a natural flow for casual or formal dining. Overlooking the terrace and open city vistas, this beautifully appointed space features refined cabinetry, marble countertops, a subway tile backsplash, and tiled flooring. Premium appliances include a Haier refrigerator, Samsung dishwasher, microwave, and a five-burner stove, blending functionality with style. The primary bedroom is a serene retreat, bathed in natural light from its eastern exposure. Spacious enough to accommodate a king-size bed, nightstands, a desk, and a seating area, it also features a generous walk-in closet and a beautifully renovated en-suite bathroom with crisp white tiles and ample storage. This residence is thoughtfully updated throughout, combining classic elegance with modern comfort. Highlights include new wood flooring, an in-unit washer/dryer, and abundant storage options. Just one block from Central Park and nestled in one of Manhattan’s most desirable neighborhoods, 20 East 68th Street provides unmatched access to Madison Avenue’s premier shopping and dining destinations. This full-service building offers a host of amenities, including a full-time doorman, live-in resident manager, bike room, storage, and a well-maintained laundry facility. The Condop owns its land and functions under condo rules, allowing for unlimited subletting, pied-à-terres, gifting, and purchases by parents for children, all without board interviews.
