This splendid residence is located in one of Manhattan’s finest white-glove prewar cooperatives. Beautifully renovated by Haynes-Roberts, this sophisticated apartment’s very spacious and elegant rooms are underpinned by beautiful herringbone hardwood floors and many original details. Delightfully, all of the entertainment rooms and bedrooms face onto Madison Avenue or East 71st Street, with marvelously open outlooks and wonderful sunlight. Accessed via a semi-private elevator landing, the impressive rectangular Gallery opens to three grand entertaining rooms en enfilade: the Living Room with a wood-burning fireplace, the handsome corner Library with open northern views over St. James’ Church, and the Dining Room: all three with divine western light and open views and glimpses of Central Park. Perfectly suited to entertaining in style, a Powder Room is conveniently accessible from the Library. Nearby, the east-facing eat-in chef’s Kitchen is pristine. Supported by a large Bar/Pantry with ample wine storage, a Staff Room with an ensuite bath, and Laundry Room, the Kitchen also offers abundant space for dining and seating. Removed by a hall passage from the rest of the residence, the tranquil private quarters feature three well-proportioned bedrooms. The attractive Primary Bedroom features very ample closets, and a large ensuite windowed bathroom. There are two additional bedrooms, each with an ensuite bath and plentiful closets. All bedrooms benefit from gloriously open and very charming northern outlooks. In addition, and for sale separately, there is a very nicely renovated and well-sized studio with a full bathroom and a storage room on the Ground Floor located off the Lobby. 30 East 71st Street is sister to 33 East 70th Street, and the two addresses share a handsome 1928 building that wraps the western side of the block. Ideally situated on East 71st Street and Madison Avenue, it is moments to Central Park and to many of the best museums, galleries, boutiques, and restaurants on the Upper East Side. With a limestone base and a discreet canopied entrance on East 71st Street, the building projects a quiet elegance, also reflected in the residences within. Considered to be among the most prestigious residential addresses in New York City, the building offers impeccable service that includes 24-hour doormen and hall attendants, as well as a resident manager. Further, there is a newly-renovated, very attractive lobby, a large state-of-the-art fitness center, bicycle storage, central laundry, and individual private storage. Pets are welcome.
