Description
Tasteful, sunny, high-floor two bedroom two bathroom apartment on East 78th Street. Enter this apartment into an elegant central gallery off which all the rooms emanate. The living room features Southern exposure, a wood-burning fireplace with a William H. Jackson marble mantel, refinished original hardwood floors, and custom bookcases. The living room is large enough to accommodate a full dining table.
The layout is wonderful as the bedroom suites are split; either bedroom could be considered the primary bedroom with their large proportions and windowed bathrooms ensuite. The current primary bedroom has fantastic southern light and open views, as well as a large walk-in closet. The second bedroom is off its own private hallway and features two closets and built-in bookcases.
The windowed eat-in kitchen has been updated with a 5 burner stove, GE built-in microwave, Samsung two-door stainless steel refrigerator, and large double sinks. There is a stacked Miele washer/dryer, excellent pantry storage, and an eat-in area perfect for stools. There is a massive walk-in closet in the entrance gallery for additional storage. The maintenance includes utilities.

Known for 'Museum Mile' and its quiet, tree-lined streets, the neighborhood offers a refined lifestyle away from the midtown bustle.
