Description

Welcome to this beautiful 2 bed, 1.5 bath home with a 3rd flex space that could be used as a dining room or study. This home offers the perfect blend of aesthetic sophistication and gracious living. Beautifully designed and featured in numerous design publications, this turn-key residence is ready for its new owner. This stunning residence is highlighted by its timeless pre-war details like hardwood floors and moldings that flow gracefully throughout the five-room layout. As you step into this elegant home, you'll be greeted by a generous foyer painted by the artist Happy Menocal. This space leads to a spacious living and dining area on one side and a chic, windowed kitchen on the other. Both bedrooms are generous in size, and share a lovely Jack & Jill bathroom. Each bedroom is situated on a corner, so each have windows on two sides, allowing the sun to stream in. In the hallway you'll find a brand new washer and dryer in a laundry closet. Residents of this luxury building enjoy the conveniences of a full-time doorman and staff, a private storage cage, a modern gym, and bike room. Situated just one block from the Metropolitan Museum of Art and Central Park, this co-op offers proximity to numerous cultural landmarks, dining, and shopping. Buyer pays 2% flip tax. 50% financing allowed. Pets are welcome. Pied-a-terres and sublets are not allowed. There is currently an assessment of $265.52

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.
