Description

Sun-filled and impeccably renovated, this four bedroom apartment, with four full baths, strikes a perfect balance of elegant entertaining as well as gracious and comfortable living. Enter into the proper foyer off which you have the sunny and house-like eat-in kitchen with top of the line appliances and an enormous pantry closet. Also off the foyer is currently a library/den which could easily act as a fourth bedroom. The impressive double sized square living room/dining room has custom built-ins as well as a wall of windows. Its beautiful scale is ideal for both entertaining as it is a quiet night at home. One of the four full baths is perfectly located off of a hallway to the living room and serves as a powder room for guests. The master bedroom is located in its own wing of the apartment and is complete with separate dressing area, enormous walk-in-closet, and classically renovated bath. Flanking the other side of the apartment are two additional bedrooms each with en-suite baths. Notable features include vast closet space/storage, pre-war detail, custom built-ins throughout, and north/south/east exposures with open city views. The building is full service, pet friendly, and permits 75% financing. This is a must see! CONTRACT SIGNED.

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.
