Description

Located in a distinguished 1912 masterfully designed by Schwartz & Gross, this elegant two-bedroom residence blends timeless architecture with gracious modern living. This landmarked full-service cooperative at the coveted northwest corner of Park Avenue and 83rd Street presents a home with exceptional scale, light, and charm.

A grand, oversized entrance gallery sets the tone, leading to a sprawling 25-foot open living and separate dining room, soaring 10-foot ceilings, and abundant natural light from open northern and western exposures. The windowed kitchen is thoughtfully designed with ample cabinetry and counter space, offering both functionality and style. The private bedroom wing is anchored by a stunning, over 16" square corner primary suite with two exposures, complete with a windowed en-suite bath and a wall of closets. The second bedroom is generously proportioned, featuring two closets and open western views. A second full bath serves both guests and the secondary bedroom, doubling as a powder room. Additional highlights include oak hardwood floors, crown moldings, and generous closets. Washer/dryers are permitted, as is central air-conditioning.

This intimate, full-service boutique cooperative offers a doorman, resident manager, gym and private storage. Pets and pied-a -terres are welcome. Up to 75% financing permitted; 2% flip tax applies.

Perfectly located near Central Park, fine dining, top schools, and convenient transportation, this rare offering combines prewar elegance with modern comforts in one of the Upper East Side's most desirable buildings.

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.
