Description

Stunning, sky-high, and sun-drenched are only a few of the words which appropriately describe this home. Every inch of this spacious 3 Bed/3.5 Bath home has been meticulously designed to create a very sophisticated and timeless floor plan: perfect for fabulous entertaining or the best of everyday living.

The gracious entry foyer is framed by a wall of storage and designer powder room, and perfectly situated between the double sized living room and large formal dining room with open Northern, Eastern, and Southern city skyline views. The classic windowed chef's kitchen sits adjacent to the dining room, replete with marble countertops, custom cabinetry, laundry closet, and appliances by Subzero, Wolf, and Miele.

Nestled in their own private wing sits three graciously proportioned bedrooms, each with bathroom en suite. The large primary bedroom has two custom walk-in closets, built-in bookshelves, and an elegant designer marble bath. Three-inch plank floors, elegant soffit lighting, through wall A/C, custom built-ins, and last but not least, an additional 2nd floor staff room/office/storage room (with shared bathroom) complete this incredible offering.

Built as a coop in 1959 by Sylvan and Robert Bien architects, the building is known by its beautiful rose granite exterior and flanked by its frequently photographed gardens. Its newly renovated state of the art lobby and elevators welcome residents and guests to a full-service building. Amenities include attended garage (preferred rate for shareholders), fitness center, playroom, bicycle storage, laundry room and storage bins. The excellent building financials are reflected in the low monthly maintenance charges. Transportation, casual and upscale dining, gourmet food markets, the chicest fashionable boutiques, and Central Park are just steps away.

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.
