Description

Don't lift a finger! Flooded with sunlight via open southern exposures, this meticulously renovated 2-bedroom, 2-bathroom home is move-in ready! Located in a full-service cooperative at an exceptionally ideal Upper East Side address, this spacious home is also convertible to a 3-bedroom if one were to enclose the dining area. (This home, 5B, can be purchased individually. It can ALSO be purchased together with neighboring apartment 5A for $2,095,000 to create a jumbo 4- or 5-bedroom residence with a remarkably low maintenance for a home of that size. Combination floor plan available upon request.)

Apartment 5B boasts a completely redone open kitchen with all stainless steel appliances (including dishwasher, wine fridge, and mounted microwave), built-in water filter and garbage disposal, plentiful custom cabinetry for ample storage, and sleek new countertops and backsplash. Both full bathrooms have also been tastefully redone inclusive of new Porcelanosa vanities. The home is further enhanced by pristine hardwood floors, superb closet space including a walk-in, custom Hunter Douglas window treatments (including blackout shades in both bedrooms), custom heat/AC unit enclosures, Lutron wireless dimmers that can be controlled manually, via remote, or via smart phone, and Honeywell Connect Comfort enabling one to wirelessly control the heat/AC via remote or smartphone.

The Lenox House is a full-service well-run building known for its strong financials supported by building-owned commercial space. Lenox House residents enjoy newly updated lobby, hallways, and elevators; state-of-the-art gym; full-time doorman; resident manager; laundry room; community room; storage lockers; and bike storage. Washer/dryer, pied-a-terre ownership, and up to 75% financing are all permitted, but pets are not. Transportation is a breeze with the 6 train at 77th Street, the Q train at 72nd Street, and the crosstown bus at 79th Street. Every residential convenience is at your doorstep including a wide array of supermarkets, gourmet markets, restaurants, shops, schools, gyms, parks, and other entertainment venues.

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.
