Description

Enjoy the luxury of an exceedingly large, bright and beautiful fully renovated apartment with extraordinary closet space. There are only two apartments on this floor. This 5.5 room apartment was a six room apartment. The staff room is now the breakfast room or it could be an office. The former staff bath is now a laundry area which includes storage and a full size washer dryer. The renovated kitchen has a superb design including ample storage and counter space. The breakfast room is flooded with sun. The two spacious bedrooms have huge walk-in closets, beautiful city views and en suite baths. Either could be a Master Bedroom. A Washer Dryer is in the apartment. The spacious Living Room enjoys open southern views. The Dining Room enjoys open northern views. The apartment's expansive north and south windows gives all the rooms a wonderful view and abundant light. The building amenities include a Storage Locker assigned to the apartment, bike room and gym (no fee). Pets ok with board approval. The building was designed by the noted mid century architect, Philip Birnbaum. He designed extraordinarily spacious apartments, gracious floor plans and exceedingly large closets. Between Madison Avenue and Park Avenue, and one short block from Central Park, this mint home is the ideal Upper East Side home.

The Upper East Side remains the gold standard for classic New York elegance. Known for 'Museum Mile' and its low-traffic, 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.
