225 E 73rd Street #1-J

Rarely available!!! A true gem cradled in an Emery Roth prewar building! The foyer of this beautiful one bedroom, one bathroom apartment, which holds two closets, one standard and the other oversized, opens into a gracious gallery which separates the living and bedroom spaces, creating a feeling of privacy throughout the home. Following the rich hardwood flooring through a graceful archway brings one into the living room, which looks across the courtyard to the townhouses on 74th Street, a peaceful view enhanced by the quiet that comes from being set back from the busy street traffic. The living room is generous enough to hold a gracious living room set up as well as a dining table comfortably seating four. From the living room one moves into the windowed, eat-in galley kitchen with an oversized pantry and brand new stainless steel appliances. The spacious bedroom located off the gallery offers an oversized closet and renovated en-suite marble bath with an intricate tiled floor. The decorative moldings throughout the apartment bring an air of sophistication to this impressive home. The apartment has through the wall HVAC units one can control themselves. Electric is INCLUDED in the rental amount, as is heat, gas and hot water. This home is located on the first floor off the lobby making access in and out of the building with groceries and luggage extremely easy. Lease Start Date: March 1 may be doable depending on the building's approval timeline. Earlier is unlikely.
