Description

Live peacefully, steps from Central Park in this elegant, pre-war apartment perched high on the 10th floor. Three bedrooms, three full bathrooms, and a generously proportioned traditional dining room and living area complement the spacious home. Upon entering the apartment through the formal entry foyer with coat closet, you'll find an additional closet and bedroom through the hallway on your right. The bedroom, with ensuite bathroom, could serve as the perfect office or den with the option to install a washer/dryer. Past the foyer, you are greeted by a classic living room featuring high ceilings, crown moldings, and original hardwood floors. Adjacent to the bright and oversized dining room ideal for entertaining and intimate gatherings, you'll find the windowed kitchen perfect for hosting. In the hallway leading to the bedrooms, there are two conveniently located closets with extra height doors to make the top shelf storage more accessible. One is built out with shelves for storing linens or other essentials, and the other with hanging space. Centrally located in the hallway, you'll also find a windowed bathroom. The sunny south-facing second bedroom with spacious closets is graciously sized, with additional eastern exposure for natural light throughout the day. The grand north-facing primary bedroom with additional eastern exposure features two walk-in closets with the option to combine and create a larger, shared walk-in closet.

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.
