201 E 28th Street #16AB

Perched on the 16th floor of Chesapeake House, this expansive residence offers a rare combination of scale, light, and flexibility in the heart of Kips Bay. Newly refinished wide-plank oak floors run throughout, catching the light beneath striking angled ceiling details. Multiple exposures — including a striking run of windows on two walls — flood the living space with light and frame open, sweeping Manhattan skyline views over rooftops and towers to the north and west. The layout — a thoughtfully combined 16AB unit — lives like few others on the market. Enter through a private foyer with a coat closet, where an arched passageway and a sculptural brass track light set a stylish tone for the gallery hall beyond, its warm oak floors leading past the bedroom wing. From the entry, the home opens into an oversized living and dining space, with a separate dedicated dining area, where sleek modern pendant fixtures and finished radiator covers add a polished, move-in-ready feel. Just beyond, the windowed galley kitchen offers warm cherry cabinetry, granite countertops, a gas cooktop, double wall oven, and stainless steel refrigerator and dishwasher — a full, functional kitchen with excellent storage and city views of its own. Down the hall, a versatile office/library — a long, gallery-like room fitted with built-in wood shelving and elegant brass swing-arm sconces — sits alongside a butler's pantry offering additional prep space and storage, together creating a configuration that's genuinely hard to find in Manhattan. Four generously scaled bedrooms anchor the home. The corner primary bedroom is generously sized, with two exposures of windows framing open skyline views, a large multi-panel closet, direct access to its own adjacent bath, and a dedicated walk-in closet. Bedroom Two enjoys its own private, en-suite bath and an oversized double-door closet, along with its own window exposure. Bedroom Three offers an abundance of closet space, with multiple bi-fold closets and easy access to a nearby bath. Bedroom Four, currently carpeted, comes complete with a large closet and custom built-in shelving flanking its window — a bonus for anyone in need of extra storage or display space. Each of the three full bathrooms has been finished with its own distinct, updated look — from travertine walls and a separate glass shower stall, to a hexagon-tiled tub/shower with a marble accent wall, to a sleek wood-look tiled bath with a frameless glass shower — and abundant closets throughout round out the floor plan. **Some photos are Virtually Staged** Built in 1964 and home to 252 units across 20 stories, Chesapeake House is a full-service, pet-friendly co-op offering a 24-hour concierge, common roof deck, and bike room, all just moments from Kips Bay's restaurants, transit, and NYU Langone. This is an exceptional opportunity to secure a rarely available, oversized layout in one of Kips Bay's most established full-service buildings. For buyers with a vision, an alternate floor plan reimagines the layout into an even more functional, move-in-ready home: an expanded foyer with additional closet space for a more gracious entry, a reconfigured and enlarged kitchen with improved flow, a dedicated breakfast room off the kitchen for casual dining, and an enlarged fourth bedroom with its own closet — all while preserving the home's abundant closet space throughout.
