Description

You really need to experience this space to know how grand it is but remains quite cozy at the same time. When you come in thru the decorative entrance way and lobby the personal service makes you feel the sense of being home. The manned elevator brings you into this grand luxury duplex with 11 rooms, and 4 plus bedrooms, with 4 bathrooms and you are struck by the expanse of 11 oversized windows (with City Quiet windows) The enormous living room and dining room, with recessed lighting, share back to back working fireplaces.

The massive kitchen features a Sub Zero fridge, a Thermador Oven / Stove Top, and Bosch Dishwasher with oak cabinetry and granite counter-tops. Off the kitchen is a staff room with en-suite bathroom and a full size laundry room and butler's pantry. Are you still reading there is so much more! On the far side of the floor is a gorgeous wood paneled library with a wet bar, a full guest bedroom with ensuite full bath.

As you ascend to the 7th floor up the beautiful staircase you are first greeted by the sitting room of the Prime bedroom. This bedroom also has back to back wood burning fireplaces, expansive main bathroom with duel sinks, a soaking tub, a separate shower and bidet. Additionally, there is another bedroom with en-suite bathroom.

This home has plenty of custom closets, hardwood plank floors, numerous built-ins, custom lighting, and through the wall air conditioning. The next owner can raise the ceiling height and expose the pre-war beams if they like. Your manned elevator will bring you to your semi-private vestibule where your mail is delivered each day.

This prime Lenox Hill Coop was designed by Rouse & Goldstone in 1924 when Calvin Coolidge was President and Miller Huggins was the NY Yankees manager. They were prolific and celebrated architects from 1909-1930 with iconic buildings on Park Ave and Riverside Drive.

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.
