Description

Located in a full-service condominium on 78th and Madison, this 3-bedroom, 3-bathroom home is a rare find and not to be missed. Off the large entrance gallery is the sprawling living room, which faces north onto tree-lined E 78th Street, and the separate formal dining room, creating the perfect flow for entertaining and everyday living. The primary bedroom enjoys a corner view facing north and east with lovely tree-top views, and is complete with two large closets, a custom built armoire and an ensuite windowed marble bath with a stall shower with massaging jets and Waterworks fixtures. The second bedroom, which is currently being used as a library, is ideally separated from the primary in its own wing with an ensuite bath, two double closets and custom built-ins. The windowed eat-in kitchen is adjacent to the formal dining room and features top-of-the-line appliances, a center island large enough to comfortably accommodate 4 for informal dining and an abundance of countertop space making this the perfect kitchen for a serious chef. The third bedroom/office is off the kitchen and has its own full bath with a brand new washer/dryer, built-in bookcases and an oversized pantry closet. Walnut floors, decorative crown molding, solid mahogany doors with designer hardware, a plethora of storage, and newly installed through-wall AC units in the living and dining rooms, primary bedroom and study complete the home. The Charles House is a pet-friendly, full-service building with 24-hour doorman, live-in super, garage, fitness room, private storage, bike room, and a planted roof deck with sweeping views of Central Park. Pieds-a-terre and investors are welcome. Please note, the listed monthly taxes are before abatements.

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.
