Description

Spacious and gracious, this two bedroom home has incredibly large rooms and Eastern light with treetop views from oversized windows. Upon entering, your breath will be taken away by the sheer scale of the living room which is enhanced by a large alcove with a charming bay window. There is an incredibly roomy separate dining area, also suitable as a home office.

The split bedroom layout affords tremendous separation of space and privacy. The primary bedroom has two walk-in closets and a renovated ensuite bathroom. The second bedroom is the same size as the primary bedroom! The updated windowed kitchen is in excellent condition with stainless steel appliances and plenty of storage space. Other apartment features include a half bathroom, through the wall air conditioning and remarkable closet space throughout. In addition, a large storage room transfers with the apartment at no extra cost.

The Townsend House is a well-established building built as a co-operative in 1961. This full-service postwar gem is in a wonderful location on a stunning block and features a 24 hour doorman and concierge, fitness room, bike storage, garage (waiting list) and a resident superintendent. You are surrounded by incredible restaurants, world-class shopping and easy access to public transportation. Pied a terres permitted but no pets. Monthly assessment of $438/month.

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.
