Property Details
Description
A timeless Upper East Side building and location, 1049 Lexington Avenue presents a rare investment opportunity in one of Manhattan's most coveted retail and residential corridors. Originally built in 1910, this elegant four-story building masterfully blends prewar character with modern updates.
The property is currently configured with a luxury retail brand occupying the ground and second floors, and two beautifully renovated free-market residential apartments above.
The retail space-home to a distinguished stationery boutique-features a gracious storefront with custom built-ins, a stylish back office, and a renovated powder room. The second floor, presently used as an office and meeting space, includes two renovated powder rooms, while the cellar provides ample storage.
A separate street entrance leads to the upper two full-floor residences, each approximately 900 square feet. Both apartments have been thoughtfully renovated with modern kitchens and baths and share access to a private roof terrace-an inviting retreat above the city. The third-floor apartment features an in-unit washer/dryer, while the fourth-floor residence is enhanced by multiple skylights that flood the home with natural light.
Perfectly positioned along Lexington Avenue near 75th Street, this impeccably maintained mixed-use property offers prime visibility, enduring architectural charm, and flexible potential-an exceptional opportunity for investors and end users alike in the heart of the Upper East Side.
