19 E 73rd Street #5

As you step out of the keyed elevator into the full floor, gut-renovated apartment, the first thing you notice is the ornate pre-war detail with a modern open floorpan and pristine hardwood floors. As you turn the corner past the foyer and coat closet you face the dramatic loft-like living room. The cascading warm southern light highlights the expansive, large, original top-floor windows looking upon classic New York Beau-Arts architecture with hints of Central Park just down the block. Nestled next to the floor-wide window seat lies the original, functional fireplace encased in a flawless marble mantle and surround. Boasting 9-11 foot ceilings with a large custom built in storage and media cabinet, the expansive living room is big enough to entertain large parties of your most discerning guests or cozy enough just for you. Vast amounts of storage with custom finishes, antique brass hardware and Calcutta marble countertop and backsplash encase the chef's kitchen with Waterworks sink and faucets. The SubZero fridge along with the Miele rangetop and oven enable you to prepare meals for holiday parties or a simple weeknight get-together. Ample floorspace allow you to enjoy a dining area and staging table without sacrificing areas to mingle and lounge. Hang works of art that inspire and intrigue you down the classically appointed, expansive gallery hallway that leads to the master bed. Morning sun greets you in the inviting space that comfortably holds a king size bed, end tables, dressers and sitting area. The en-suite bathroom is an enclave of floor-to-ceiling marble, antique brass finishes and elevated shower with dual spray heads. A walk-in closet that has been outfitted with a full built-ins holds your wardrobe with no need for seasonal storage. The second bedroom has been outfitted with a reading nook that is hugged by floor-to-ceiling storage space. Convertible for many uses: home office, nursery or guest bedroom. A full, en-suite windowed bath with heated floors frames a view for all seasons allowing your guests comfort and privacy. Tucked into a corner off the main hallway is the in-unit laundry room complete with built-in storage for linens and supplies. High efficiency, stand alone washer and dryer allow you to manage your laundry needs year round without the need to leave your apartment. Situated a mere stone's throw from Central Park between Fifth and Madison Avenues, 19 E 73rd Street is the epitome of the Upper East Side. Classic pre-war, brownstone architecture surrounded by the modern world and luxury of New York. Originally built in 1871 as a single-family residence by architect J. W. Marshall, 19 E 73rd Street was home to the Palmers who commissioned a neo-Federal facade redesign in 1908 which is recognized by the New York Landmarks Commission as significant. The later family, the Starrs, occupied the townhouse until 1946 at which time the building was converted to single-floor apartments.
