Description

DEAL FELL THOROUGH.
There are 2 words that describe this amazing home. CENTRAL AIR, yes it has it, but no, thats not it. SUBZERO and VIKING...come on, we can do better than that. SOARING CEILINGS, those are rare and are in this home, but I can top that. BONUS SPACE? Got ya covered but thats not it either. Wait for it...wait for it...EPIC OUTDOOR. I might be wasting my time talking about this because words dont do it justice. HUGE? MASSIVE? PEACEFUL? All that and more! This terrace is crazy, over 800 sqft of space to play with. Spread out, create zones, do whatever you want because it is all yours.

The lovely part-time doorman 1920s building is in the heart of the UES close to galleries, shopping, transportation and Central Park.

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.
