Description
Rarely does a residence of this caliber become available! With a sprawling layout, exceptional storage, and private outdoor space, this spectacular five-bedroom, four-and-a-half-bathroom duplex lives like a suburban home in a coveted Yorkville enclave. Situated within a full-service postwar cooperative with low monthly maintenance just inches from Carl Schurz Park and the East River Greenway promenade stretching from 42nd Street to 125th Street, this elegant property provides an unrivaled opportunity to move right into a beautifully maintained residence or create the Upper East Side showplace you've always dreamed of. Inside this approximately 3,200-square-foot home, tall ceilings rise above gleaming hardwood oak floors, lovely millwork, and large windows on the northern and eastern exposures. A gracious foyer with adjoining closets and a powder room open to generous living and dining spaces perfect for relaxing and entertaining. Step out to the terrace for al fresco meals alongside tree-lined 87th Street and park views. The expansive windowed kitchen features rows of custom wood cabinetry, granite countertops, tile backsplashes, and a fleet of stainless steel appliances, including a gas range, oversized refrigerator-freezer, dishwasher, and built-in microwave. A service entrance provides direct access to trash/recycling, while the breakfast room banquette creates the ideal destination for morning coffee and casual meals. Explore the palatial primary bedroom wing off the living room, where two well-appointed full bathrooms surround a large dressing area with a walk-in closet. The sprawling king-size bedroom features two large closets, while a pocket door reveals the spacious office/sitting room/second bedroom with built-in cabinetry, bookshelves, and two more roomy closets. On the lower level, a large family room/media lounge is surrounded by three spacious secondary bedrooms and two full bathrooms. A large utility room boasts a grandfathered side-by-side full-sized washer-dryer, an extra refrigerator, a sink, cabinet storage, and a second service entrance. PTAC heating and cooling on the upper level and central air conditioning on the lower level add comfort and convenience to this one-of-a-kind Yorkville sanctuary. The elevator opens directly into your semi-private hallway. Built in 1961, Henderson House is a beautifully maintained white-glove luxury co-op where residents enjoy full-time doorman, concierge, and live-in resident manager service, handsome common areas, a gym, laundry, storage, bike room, and an on-site parking garage. The financially sound building features no underlying mortgage, no flip tax, sub-metered electricity, and a basic cable/phone package included in the low monthly maintenance, (as well as attractively discounted internet service available). Pets and 65% financing are permitted with board approval. Nestled next to the charming Henderson Place Historic District in the Upper East Side's Yorkville neighborhood, this home is surrounded by outstanding green space, including the East River Greenway and riverfront Carl Schurz Park's wonderful playgrounds and dog parks. Explore fantastic local shopping, dining, and nightlife venues and enjoy the convenience of the 86th Street retail corridor, featuring Fairway Market, Target, Whole Foods, Barnes & Noble, and more. Transportation is effortless with Q and 4/5/6 trains, excellent M86 and M31 bus service, the East 90th Street Ferry Terminal, and CitiBike stations all nearby.
