Description

BOARD APPROVED. Parisian views. Generously-sized, this 5 room, 2 bedroom, 2.5 bath residence at the celebrated Emery Roth-designed 3 East 71st Street cooperative is located on one of Manhattan's most sought after blocks. Enjoy the finest at a prestigious Upper East address neighbored by turn-of-the-century limestone mansions, seconds from Central Park, The Frick Collection and Museum Mile. No other property on the market in this price range can compare to this location. For the past 36 years this home has been lovingly cared for and the time has come for a new owner to make it their own. Extremely flexible floor plan gives way to many updating possibilities. This home has an exceptional entertaining layout with an expansive flow from the living room through the gallery to the formal dining room also with the potential of an open kitchen. Both the living room with a wood-burning fireplace and the spacious master suite face south and look upon the Frick Library. Off the welcoming entry foyer sits a large closet and convenient powder room. The windowed kitchen was refreshed in 2005. Other features include original herringbone floors, custom wood cabinetry, ensuite baths and abundant closet space along with an extra large storage bin. Built in 1948, the distinctive 3 East 71st Street is an impeccably maintained boutique full-service building. Washers and dryers are permitted. Pied-a-terres are also allowed.

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.
