This expansive and luxurious three bedroom, three and a half bath corner residence offers breathtaking panoramic views of the East River, city, and Carl Schurz Park. Apartment 20A is an exquisite light-filled residence with fantastic flow for entertaining, as well as a perfect layout for day-to-day living.

The oversized living/dining room has open southern exposures and boasts hardwood floors and plenty of space for multiple seating configurations. Adjacent is an expansive eat-in chef’s kitchen surrounded by windows and with separate dining and seating areas. Featuring white cabinetry, granite countertops, and stainless steel appliances including a dishwasher and double ovens, the kitchen offers extensive work and storage space. A terrace off the kitchen is the perfect place to enjoy a morning coffee or wind down at night, with open views of the city skyline. A washer and dryer complete the kitchen. The primary suite is a true sanctuary, wrapping a corner and featuring open views of the river and the park. The recently renovated en-suite windowed bath truly feels like a spa, while three spacious closets complete the space. Two additional bedrooms with en-suite baths offer ample space and flexibility.

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.
