WHEN SPACE AND LIGHT MATTER

Rarely available with protected views of the park, river and sky, this grand five room home offers space to spare. Light filled with 3 exposures and in move-in condition, the residence comprises 2 equally sized master bedrooms, 2 ½ baths, an extra wide living room, spacious formal dining room, 18?4? eat-in-kitchen and 11? corner balcony. Well-designed with a classic layout, a welcoming gallery separates the living and entertaining spaces from the sleeping quarters. The renovated granite kitchen with stainless steel appliances features a southern window, Miele washer and vented dryer, banquette seating with additional storage beneath and a separate service entrance. A smartly teak tiled balcony facing Carl Schurz Park and the East River brings the outdoors inside, and with just two apartments per floor, privacy and quiet are ensured. Beautiful hardwood floors and generously sized custom fitted closets, including a walk-in, complete the picture. With space to spare and an easy flow, a 3rd bedroom may be created as shown in the alternate floor plans which suggest just two of the versatile ways to redesign the space.

Adjacent to historic Henderson Place and steps from the East River Promenade, the highly desirable Henderson House provides residents with full luxury services and amenities, including doorman, concierge, resident manager, gym, garage (currently $370/month), bike room, individual storage units and a landscaped courtyard garden. Built as a co-op in 1961, the building is extremely well run and financially sound with no underlying mortgage and does not impose a transfer tax. Convenient to transportation, the pet friendly co-op is near some of the finest schools, dining and shopping options. A $332.86 assessment runs through December 2019 to cover an elevator modernization project. All showings are by appointment only.
