Description
Welcome to your very sophisticated "classic six" room home in a distinguished boutique prewar building at a premier address between Madison and Park Avenues.

It comprises: two adjacent, elegant entertaining rooms and two fine bedrooms each with ensuite bath, in-unit washer dryer, a well-appointed windowed chef's kitchen with top of the line appliances, as well a staff room with bath that can easily become a study, nursery, or guest room. The Foyer leads to a graceful gallery perfect for showcasing artwork. It opens unto a south and east facing impeccably scaled Living Room with a marble mantled wood burning fireplace, beamed high ceilings, tasteful wainscoting, refined moldings and an inviting Bay Window looking onto charming townhouses. The sunny Formal Dining Room facing east is graced with De Gournay wallpaper and beautiful herring bone mahogany floors. The spacious Master Bedroom enjoys double exposure south and west, a windowed marble bath with top of the line fixtures as well as two closets, one of which is a large "walk-in".

About Upper East Side
View All Upper East Side ListingsThe 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.
