Description

Priced to sell! Highly desirable and meticulously renovated in 2018, this two-bedroom corner apartment with private terrace is a stunning, light-filled and peaceful sanctuary. Fabulously located in a distinguished and sought-after full-service cooperative in the heart of the Upper East Side, this wonderfully proportioned and sophisticated home boasts three exposures of open and sunny city views from every room. With fantastic outdoor access and lovely indoor spaces, this home provides the perfect setting for versatile entertaining. The foyer flows into a spacious entry/dining gallery with a chic built-in bar with Sub-Zero wine refrigerator and gorgeous custom glass French doors leading to a grand living room, which easily accommodates multiple seating areas and a dining room table. The stylish chef's kitchen features custom cabinetry, quartz countertops, artfully tiled mirror and marble backsplash, water filtration system and premium appliances, including Miele cooktop, Bertazzoni oven and microwave, Sub-Zero refrigerator, and Bosch dishwasher. The sun-filled breakfast area opens onto the large south, west and north facing terrace with retractable awning, newly installed and updated electricity, drip irrigation and scenic city views. Additionally, a board-approved landscape plan by Brook Landscaping will transfer with the sale. The private bedroom hall leads to the corner master suite with additional access to the terrace and an ensuite limestone bathroom with glass shower and radiant heated floors. The second oversized bedroom is bright and airy and enjoys generous closet space. There is a pretty hall bathroom with tub that functions also as a powder room for guests and is finished with honed Carrera hexagon marble floor tiles and Ann Sacks tiled walls. Replete with high quality finishes and fine details, like beautifully refinished maple floors and coffered ceilings, this apartment also boasts a multi-zoned heating and air conditioning system by Mitsubishi, in-unit Miele vented washer and dryer, and generous custom closets and storage space. Amenities in this well-run building include a superb staff, 24-hour doorman, live-in resident manager, new fitness room, private storage, bike room, central laundry and low-cost garage available to shareholders. The maintenance includes electricity and basic cable and there is no flip tax. Pets are welcome.

The 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.
