Description

Sun flooded and stunning in every way, this renovated two bedroom/two bath prewar apartment is one block from Central Park and the best of the Upper East Side. Spanning the generous width of the Thatcher M. Adams Townhouse, Apartment 5S has recently been updated with a tasteful kitchen with chef grade appliances, split HVAC, and enviable bookshelves and built-ins. The four large, south facing windows bring in the elegant streetscape of limestones and brick facades and a generous portion of sky. The large rear bedroom has an en-suite bath and faces a quiet tree-lined courtyard. The foyer is generous enough for informal dining for six, and the historic prewar details and a decorative fireplace bring cozy warmth to this lovely gem of an apartment. You benefit from 7 closets, a private storage room, and laundry in basement. Pied-a-terre's are allowed, and Pets considered on case-by case basis.

This residence is perfectly situated between Park and Madison Avenues in a six-story elevator townhouse. This is the best the neighborhood has to offer: Central Park, The New York Society Library, Museum Mile, galleries, restaurants, shops and convenient transportation.

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.
