Welcome to Residence 7C, a renovated 3 bedroom, 2 bath classic prewar home offering large scale rooms, an abundance of natural light, and a graceful flow for distinguished living and entertaining. This full service building is best known for its low maintenance and highly coveted location just one block from Central Park.

An entry foyer opens into an expansive gallery with three large closets. Through an arched doorway you will discover the well proportioned living room and dining area flooded with southern light and open city views. Prewar details abound including high beamed ceilings, hardwood floors, and a decorative fireplace.

On the other side of the entrance gallery is the extra large windowed eat-in-kitchen. Fully renovated, the kitchen is beautifully designed and complete with granite countertops, white subway tile backsplash, under-cabinet lighting, and top of the line appliances including a Bosch dishwasher, Bosch refrigerator, and an in unit Bosch Washer Dryer for ultimate convenience. An oversized walk-in pantry completes this space.

The bedroom wing is tucked away in the eastern corridor of the home for optimal privacy. The king-sized primary bedroom enjoys southern-facing views and an ensuite windowed bathroom with double sinks. The quiet and north-facing second and third bedrooms are grand in scale with large closets, including one cedar closet. The second bathroom is conveniently located across the hall. Other noteworthy features include through the wall AC for year round comfort and unparalleled storage space throughout.

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.
