1438 3rd Avenue #15B

Surround yourself with iconic views in this expansive three-bedroom, three-bathroom condominium easily convertible to include a separate fourth room, featuring turnkey contemporary interiors, two private balconies, panoramic triple exposures, and an outstanding location at the Upper East Side’s full-service Maison East. A gracious entry gallery welcomes you inside this pristine 1,690-square-foot home, where tall ceilings rise above gleaming hardwood plank floors and oversized windows capturing remarkable natural light and views to the north, east and west. The thoughtful, flexible layout begins in the west wing, where the spacious living/dining room boasts a wall of floor-to-ceiling windows opening to a sizeable balcony, perfect for admiring dramatic sunsets and postcard vistas of the Upper East Side and Midtown skylines. Chefs will love the gourmet open kitchen's sleek white gloss cabinetry, textured granite countertops, breakfast bar seating, and full complement of high-end stainless steel appliances by Miele, GE, and Bosch, while the adjacent pantry houses a microwave and generous storage. Accessible from the living room and kitchen, this wing's oversized secondary bedroom suite could easily be used as a formal dining room or media lounge with a large closet and private bath. To the right of the entry gallery, the east wing begins with an expansive primary bedroom featuring king-size proportions, two roomy closets and its own eastern balcony ideal for morning coffee. The en-suite primary bathroom impresses with a walk-in rain shower and wide double vanity surrounded by exceptional Calacatta gold marble. A third bedroom offers northern and eastern exposures and easy access to the well-appointed guest bathroom. This sophisticated home's extensive upgrades include generous storage space all finished with California Closets fittings, accent lighting, and a separate laundry closet with a stacked Bosch washer-dryer. If one chooses to convert the apartment to include a fourth bonus room, as has been done in comparable apartments on this line in the building, the sprawling primary suite can easily accommodate a separate 9’3” x 8’9” windowed home office, den, or nursery, while still leaving a generously sized primary suite measuring nearly 14’ x 13’ with two extra-large closets (see alternate floor plan). Maison East is a well-maintained, upscale pet-friendly condominium where residents enjoy 24-hour doorman and concierge service, a live-in superintendent, children's room, bike room and storage. From this coveted location in the heart of the Upper East Side, you're surrounded by fantastic shopping, dining, nightlife, outdoor space, top-rated schools and cultural venues at every turn. Enjoy a wealth of retail destinations just minutes from your front door, including the 86th Street corridor, Whole Foods, Target and Fairway. Spend the day admiring world-class works of art along Museum Mile and take your pick of Central Park's 843 acres of iconic scenery or the delightful waterfront splendor of Carl Schurz Park and the East River promenade. Transportation is effortless with 4/5/6 and Q trains, excellent bus service, CitiBikes and the FDR all nearby. Zoned for P.S. 006.
