Description

A stunning renovation, an open and expansive floor plan, and 2 luxurious and private bedroom wings characterize this 4 bedroom, 3.5 bathroom home. At approximately 2,550 square feet with 10-foot ceilings, Apartment 4DE boasts an exquisite palette of finishes and fixtures, oversized 6-foot windows, as well as a spacious library/playroom with custom built-ins and an intelligently-designed home office.

Facing east, the open living room features custom built-in bookcases and cabinetry, a separate dining room (originally the 4th bedroom) with a built-in bar and Sub Zero wine refrigerator, as well as an open chef's kitchen with built-in dining banquette. The kitchen is finished in white paneled cabinetry, marble countertops and backsplash, garbage disposal, and appliances by Sub Zero, Viking, and Bosch. An elegantly appointed powder room completes the public entertaining space.

The master bedroom is a retreat of its own. The marble en-suite bath features an oversized steam shower, double vanity, radiant heat floors, and plentiful & custom cabinetry. Two walk-in closets with custom built-ins complete the master suite.

Two additional and generous bedrooms, and the open play room are located within the apartment's separate private wing, and face west, overlooking beautiful greenery and townhouse gardens. Wonderful storage abounds, including a walk-in closet in one of the bedrooms. The bedrooms share a large five-fixture bath with separate soaking tub, shower, and double vanity. Additional features of this mint home include an impressive laundry room with utility sink and double full-size washer and dryer, central multi-zone HVAC, Control4 home automation with recessed speakers throughout, and hardwood floors throughout.

Built in 2004 and designed by Philip Johnson, The Metropolitan at 181 East 90th Street in the heart of Carnegie Hill is a full-service condominium with just 84 apartments. A majority of the apartments in the building are 3-4 bedroom homes, and most floors contain just 3 apartments per floor.

Amenities include 24-hour doorman, live-in resident manager, full-time handyman, gym, children's playroom, central laundry, and bike room. In close proximity to Central Park, the 92nd Street Y, Guggenheim Museum, and a plethora of wonderful shops and restaurants.

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.
