Sun-drenched with open views. Perched high on the 17th floor, this expansive two-bedroom, two-bathroom home boasts all four exposures and a private terrace. A perfect entertaining or lounging space, the oversized living room enjoys a wall of south-facing windows, another large window to the east, and terrace access to the west. Adding to this expanse are a separate dining area and an open chef's kitchen, which features an abundance of counter space, custom-built cabinetry and hutch, complete with top-of-the-line stainless steel appliances. The spacious master bedroom faces the terrace to the south; it includes a walk-in closet and renovated bathroom with extra-large shower. The second bedroom, currently used as a library, also enjoys windows on two exposures with open views to the north. This home has its own washer/dryer, through-the-wall air conditioning, hardwood flooring, recessed lighting, lovely built-ins and storage space, and an integrated sound system.

The Upper East Side remains the gold standard for classic New York elegance. Known for 'Museum Mile' and its low-traffic, 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.
