Description

THE VIEWS WILL TAKE YOUR BREATH AWAY! TRUE 4-BED 3-BATH CONDO!

This grand home has it all - location, space and views! It is in a class by itself and will appeal to savvy buyers, as it is well priced to sell today.

Enjoy breathtaking sunsets framed in oversized double pane wrap-around windows facing North, East and West. This expansive 2,319 sq. ft., 4-bedroom 3-bath has it all. The windowed fourth bedroom with open city views can flex as your office or den, as it was intelligently designed to increase space and efficiency.

Cross the threshold and be greeted by a dramatic foyer whose walls are graced with beautiful marmorino plaster tastefully custom made by the current owner who also designed the beautiful gold leaf plated entryway door. Deep closets and a classy powder room with custom made venetian plaster walls provide the finishing touches at the entry. From the foyer, migrate to a spacious dining room perfect for entertaining, and which flows into a bright 19' x 18' living room surrounded by walls of windows that showcase incredible open views.

If you believe the heart of the home is the kitchen, you won't be disappointed by this TRUE windowed eat-in kitchen seating 8, boasting BRAND NEW cabinetry, Viking stainless steel appliances, including a wine refrigerator and significant counter space. Through a cozy dressing area, find a massive master bedroom with more city views and an en-suite bathroom with double vanity, a SOK tub, essentially a Jacuzzi and personal sized infinity pool hybrid, and a rain shower.

Your new home features a full size vented Bosch washer/dryer, strategically placed pocket doors to increase privacy, beautiful cherry, wide plank sound-insulated hard wood floors, 10-ft. ceilings, custom made venetian plaster walls throughout the apartment, and closets galore.

The Metropolitan is a secure white glove building with semi-private landing with only three apartments per floor. Designed by the Pritzker Prize winning architect Philip Johnson and built in 2004, the Metropolitan boasts a wonderful staff, including 24-hour doorman, concierge services, 24-hour porter service, full-time handyman, and a live-in resident manager. You will enjoy a wealth of amenities, among them: a gym, bike room, playroom, and central laundry room. The apartment is just few blocks from the Central Park Reservoir entrance, Whole Foods at 88th and 3rd Avenue, the Guggenheim Museum, the Cooper Hewitt, Smithsonian Design Museum and local and express transportation at 86th and Lexington Avenue and the new Q line at 86th and Second Ave.

The apartment also comes with storage, and pets are welcome!

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.
