Description

This inviting apartment offers a spacious layout with a private terrace, two large bedrooms, beautiful Brazilian cherry wood floors, and abundant storage throughout. The open kitchen is thoughtfully designed with granite countertops, an island with ample storage, and a built-in wine cooler. Stainless steel appliances, cherry cabinets, and over-the-counter lighting elevate the space. The master bedroom overlooks the beautifully landscaped terrace, while the second bedroom is generously sized, offering flexibility for use as a home office or guest room.

The bathroom is tastefully designed with earth-tone tiles, a vanity sink cabinet, and a mirrored wall cabinet, creating a sophisticated yet functional space. Throughout the apartment, crown and base moldings add elegance, while abundant closets with neatly organized interiors ensure ample storage.

The Amherst is a full-service, financially strong building offering a wide range of amenities designed for comfort and leisure. Residents enjoy a year-round rooftop garden, complete with dining areas and an outdoor shower to cool off during hot summer days. The beautifully landscaped courtyard garden provides a serene retreat, while indoor amenities include a fully equipped gym, a community room, a spacious air-conditioned laundry room with new machines, a childrens playroom, and an attached garage for convenient parking.

Building management is exceptional, with a 24-hour doorman, live-in superintendent, and a dedicated full-service staff. The building has two resident elevators and one service elevator for convenience. Security is enhanced with 29 surveillance cameras monitoring the common areas.

Recent renovations include updates to the lobby, hallways, and community room, with air conditioning added to the hallways for improved comfort. The Amherst is flexible in its ownership policies, allowing pied-a-terre use, co-purchasing, parents purchasing for children, and subletting.

Energy efficiency is a priority, with The Amherst featuring a CoGeneration System to reduce electricity costs and carbon emissions, while keeping essential systems operational during power outages. Bulk electricity savings are passed on to residents, and the building offers connectivity through FiOS, Spectrum, and RCN. BuildingLink technology keeps residents informed of deliveries and building updates.

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.
