Description

Move right in to this mint condition, sun-flooded three bedroom residence in the heart of the Upper East Side. Having undergone a complete renovation, Apartment 4FG was stylishly reconfigured and smartly gut-renovated to create the perfect home for today's discerning buyer. A grand entry foyer, complete with 4 closets, serves as the heart of this carefully designed home - creating an ideal separation between the public and private spaces. A gracious open living/dining room easily accommodates seating for 8 and features and abundance of custom built-in storage including a media console and bar. The chef's kitchen boasts quartz counters, a breakfast bar that seats 2 as well as top-of-the-line appliances, including a Viking Fridge, Bosch range and dishwasher, BlueStar oven, and an under cabinet wine fridge. All three bedrooms offer sunny southern exposures onto a charming and quiet row of townhouse gardens. The well-proportioned secondary bedrooms each have ample closet space and share a beautifully renovated bath. The over-sized Master suite features an entrance hallway for maximum privacy with a built-in desk, four outfitted closets and the same sunny treetop view. The expanded master bath has two pedestal sinks and a spa-sized step-in rain shower. Other noteworthy details include: overhead lighting in every room via architectural beams, chandeliers and/or recessed downlights; custom cabinetry over all thru-wall AC/radiators; internet, TV and phone wired throughout; new wide plank wood floors; and custom California closets throughout the home. The Gregory House is a full service, pet-friendly white glove co-op with a 24-hour doorman and live-in super. Residents enjoy easy access to transportation (Crosstown bus on East 79th Street, Second Avenue Subway Q line, Lexington Avenue 6 line and FDR), restaurants and multiple parks (East River Promenade, Carl Schurz Park, and John Jay Park) as well as close proximity to some of the city's best schools. Other amenities include a stunning roof desk, laundry room, modern fitness center, bike room, shared storage and on-site parking. 75% financing is permitted. Co-purchasing and pied-a-terres are considered on a case-by-case basis, and subletting for a limited duration is permitted with board approval following several years of ownership. W/D are not permitted in the units.

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.
