Property Details
Description
Dramatic DUPLEX PENTHOUSE with WRAP TERRACE in an intimate and well-established full service prewar building. Enter via a semi private landing into an outstanding windowed entry foyer with adjacent powder room. This grand penthouse features a sensasional 40? living / dining room with soaring 11? ceilings, WOOD BURNING FIREPLACE and four sets of French doors leading to a sun splashed terrace surrounding the entire upper portion of this exceptional home. Bathed in morning sunlight, a large custom windowed eat-in kitchen with laundry completes this level. The downstairs, dedicated and designed for the private residence, features a generous corner master bedroom suite with sitting room, spacious dressing area and a large south facing windowed five fixture master bathroom. Additionally, a bright west-facing second bedroom with handsome custom millwork and ensuite windowed bathroom compliments this exemplary offering. The flexible layout easily converts back to three bedrooms from the current configuration. *Please note this is an option for an alternate floor plan that would most likely require board approval with an alteration agreement* The Morgan Studios is a highly coveted pet-friendly cooperative with long term live-in super and an exceptional attentive staff. Situated on a prime upper eastside tree lined block - a home like this rarely comes to market. There is a 3% transfer tax and 60% financing permitted.

About Upper East Side
View All Upper East Side ListingsThe 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.
