Description
STUNNING NYC HOME OF DESIGNER SUZANNE RHEINSTEIN 8S is a generously large sun-filled, 1 Bedroom corner apartment in the highly regarded prewar Cooperative - 901 Lexington Avenue. This rarely available “main floor” S-Line home is the primary, entertaining floor of an original duplex. It maintains the grace and grandeur of the original 1907 prewar design. Only 2 of these Primary floor apartments have been available in the last 20 years. Renowned Interior Designer, Suzanne Rheinstein, acquired and renovated this home 15 years ago. It is filled with her legendary design and with her personal touches such as hand painted hardwood floors and custom, hand painted murals by Bob Christian. The Pre-war bones of the apartment are stunning - 9'6” ceiling heights, two wood burning Fireplaces, over-sized windows, and beamed ceilings. One enters a foyer which leads to a gracious entrance Gallery. To the right is the oversized 18' x 30' corner, south/west facing Living Room with a wood burning fireplace and stunning views of the NYC skyline and the famed architecturally significant Armory. Off the Living Room is an 18' x 16' Library/Dining Room or 2nd Bedroom. The Master Bedroom faces south and offers a Luxurious Master Bath and Dressing Room. There is a 2nd full Bathroom off the Hall. The windowed Eat-In Kitchen provides ample cabinetry, a W/D unit and significant counter space. Measured at approximately 1,725 square feet, this home is a rare find. Built in 1907, 901 Lexington Avenue is one of the fine buildings that pioneered and established the Upper East Side. In addition to full-time doorman and elevator attendant, the building is equipped with bicycle storage, gym, private storage, and a laundry room. It is also pet friendly with board approval. Up to 50% financing is allowed. And there is a flip tax of 3% paid by the purchaser.
