Description


This spacious, south-facing duplex in mint condition represents a rare Manhattan opportunity. Located in an outstanding white-glove, pet-friendly building, it has the feel of a private home while offering the full service that New Yorkers crave.

Although each level has its own elevator landing, a graceful curved staircase connects them internally and adds a sense of drama to this home. Striking the perfect balance between the rich details of prewar construction and modern conveniences, this residence has high ceilings, hardwood herringbone floors and two wood-burning fireplaces, while also featuring zoned central air-conditioning, dual-paned windows and beautifully renovated kitchen and baths.

The lower floor is comprised of two well-proportioned entertaining rooms that offer great flexibility and are currently being used as a living room/dining room with fireplace and a great room with a wall of exquisitely crafted built-in bookcases. In addition, there is a large windowed kitchen with eat-in area, marble countertops, high-end stainless steel appliances, and butlers pantry. A home office/staff room with full bath, a laundry room and a powder room complete this level.

Upstairs, the master suite, with its wood-burning fireplace, endless storage and exquisite bath including double sinks, water closet and separate shower and tub, sets the tone for gracious living. Also on this floor are two additional ample bedrooms with baths en suite and multiple closets.

This exciting home has generous storage throughout. In addition two large basement storage cages convey with the transfer. There is a 3% flip tax payable by buyer.

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.
