Description

FIRST SHOWING SUNDAY APRIL 18. Fabulous spacious sun-flooded two-bedroom, two-bath home on the top floor in the perfect Upper East Side location with open northerly views over 79th street from the 17th floor. Immediately, your eyes focus on the incredible view from the wall of windows in the massive living room with dining alcove which seamlessly flows into the renovated modern windowed kitchen, featuring stainless steel appliances, granite counters, and custom-designed wood cabinets. The hallway off the front foyer leads to the two bedrooms, forming separate and distinct entertaining and sleeping areas. An oversized master bedroom has north and east facing windows with a view of the East River as well as its own ensuite bath and massive walk-in closet complete with built-ins. A sizable second bedroom also features generous custom closets and has access to its own full bathroom, which also serves as a powder room for guests. There are new cherry wood floors throughout the apartment. Entrance to the beautiful landscaped roof terrace is directly across from your door. The Gregory House is a full service, pet-friendly white glove co-op with a 24-hour doorman and live-in super. Residents enjoy easy access to transportation (Crosstown bus on East 79th Street, Second Avenue Subway Q line, Lexington Avenue 6 line and easy access to the FDR), restaurants and multiple parks (East River Promenade, Carl Schurz Park, and John Jay Park) as well as proximity to some of the city's best schools. Other amenities include a laundry room, fitness center, bike room, shared luggage storage and on-site parking. 75% financing is permitted. Co-purchasing and pieds-a-terres are considered on a case-by-case basis. Subletting for a limited duration is permitted with board approval following several years of ownership.

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.
