Value! A rare gem in the coveted East 70s! This quiet, elegant 2 bedroom (convertible 3), 2 bathroom Penthouse Duplex is finely designed and enhanced by a wonderful 575 sq ft roof deck with open city views. Situated just 4 floors up in a private townhouse is a unique 1,250 sq ft apartment that boasts a generosity of space and lovely natural light from windows on triple exposures (north, east and west). The gracious ambience is enhanced by high ceilings, beautiful hardwood floors, classic exposed brick, and a charming working wood-burning fireplace to gather around. The expansive open-concept living and dining room is perfect for entertaining, brightened by 4 over-sized north-facing windows. As the alternate floor plan shows, a 3rd bedroom can easily be created in the dining space if desired, still leaving plenty of room for dining in the existing living area. The recently redone open chefs kitchen is inspirational to any cook, designed with granite counter-tops, abundant prep & cabinet space, stainless steel appliances & a dishwasher. A bedroom with huge closet, renovated full bathroom, and a washer & dryer complete the main level. A spiral staircase ascends to the 2nd-floor master bedroom suite with big closets, central AC system and a renovated en-suite bath. The spacious, 24' x 21.6' roof deck is a private outdoor oasis for relaxing and hosting guests.Residence 5F is the largest apartment in this pet-friendly 8-unit boutique co-op on tree-lined 73rd Street. The building is financially-secure with a flexible board as far as subletting, co-purchasing, guarantors, gifting, and pied-a-terres. The prime Upper East Side location is minutes from great restaurants, shops and local amenities, and in close proximity to Central Park, John Jay Park and Carl Schurz Park. Easy access to the new Q train and the 6 train is just blocks away.
