Description

Distinguished & Grand 4 Bedroom, 4.5 Bath Prewar Coop with Incredible Light This exquisite full floor, renovated four-bedroom home is the epitome of elegant living. The private elevator vestibule opens into a perfectly appointed entry gallery separating the entertaining spaces from the private quarters. The grand living room with 9’4-foot ceilings and a wood burning fireplace boasts generous proportions and oversized windows with light-filled exposures facing east. The adjacent dining room, flooded with light, also heralds incredible proportions--perfect for large gatherings. The library (or possible bedroom) with custom cabinetry along with a nearby powder room, completes the entertaining portion of this home. The private bedroom wing features a luxurious primary suite with two large closets and a spacious bathroom. Two additional large bedrooms with ensuite bathrooms include highlights such as generous closet space and light-filled exposures. A hallway with multiple closets for endless storage perfects this private section. The chef's kitchen with custom cabinetry features state-of-the-art appliances such as a Sub-Zero refrigerator, a Wolf six burner gas cooktop and double oven, a Bosch full dishwasher, an additional Fisher & Paykel half dishwasher for lighter loads, and a Sub-Zero wine fridge. This expansive kitchen with an adjacent sun-filled breakfast room provides space for casual dining along with a den—ideal for modern living. An adjacent home office with abundant custom cabinetry for storage completes this incredible kitchen area. Lastly, a large “bonus” bedroom (or possible home gym) with full bath boasts light and incredible views. Additional features of this one-of-a-kind home are beautiful hardwood floors, a full-sized Whirlpool washing machine and dryer, and through the wall air-conditioning. Most impressively, this magnificent home offers views from three exposures--south, east and north. Built in 1928, this full-service prewar cooperative presents 14 full- floor apartments. There is a live in resident manager and private storage. Pets are allowed. 50% financing. There is a 2% flip tax payable by the buyer.

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.
