Perfectly positioned on a coveted, tree-lined block just off Park Avenue, this charming and elegant Upper East Side residence at 45 East 62nd Street offers classic prewar proportions, beautiful southern light, and exceptional architectural details. Spanning approximately 2,800 square feet and occupying the front of the building, the residence features five south-facing rooms, all bathed in natural light. A welcoming entry gallery leads into a beautifully proportioned living room anchored by a wood-burning fireplace. Beyond are a formal dining room and a cozy library, all overlooking the tranquil, tree-lined charm of 62nd Street. This well-proportioned sequence of rooms creates a classic enfilade and provides an ideal setting for both elegant entertaining and comfortable daily living. The 9’3” ceilings further enhance the sense of volume and provide a wonderful backdrop for art, while the generous scale of the principal rooms is a rare and valuable attribute. The private quarters are equally compelling. The primary suite offers a generous dressing room and a spacious en suite bath. Of the two additional bedrooms, one is configured as a suite with its own bathroom, while the other is served by a separate hall bath. The layout is both flexible and highly functional, and includes a staff room with an adjacent bath, as well as a separate laundry room discreetly positioned in the back-of-house. The kitchen is complemented by a bright breakfast room with a built-in desk. The residence retains its original character, with traditional moldings and gracious proportions throughout, while also having been thoughtfully and elegantly upgraded both architecturally and with high-end finishes. Additional features include central air conditioning, oversized casement windows, and a security system. The apartment also benefits from being one of only two residences per floor, ensuring both privacy. A generous private storage room transfers with the apartment. The building offers a full-time doorman, a live-in superintendent, attentive staff, and a pet-friendly policy. Built in 1915, this boutique cooperative is ideally located moments from Central Park, Madison Avenue shopping, and some of the city’s finest dining, with convenient access to Midtown. Without a doubt, this distinguished residence embodies the very best of refined Manhattan living and can function seamlessly as either a full-time home or an exceptionally generous pied-à-terre. 50% financing permitted. Pied-à-terre ownership allowed. 2% flip tax payable by the buyer.
