Property Summary
Description
Welcome home to 8F at 40 East 78th Street, The Charles House Condominium, in the highly coveted 'Gold Coast' of the Upper East Side. This is a rare, newly renovated condominium find, with extremely low monthly carrying costs, a prime 'off the park' location and an elegant new marble building lobby. In the thoughtful renovation of this two-bedroom, two-bathroom oasis, no expense was spared. Herringbone floors run throughout, with a large kitchen open to an expansive living room complete with foyer, full dining room, and two bathrooms clad in beautiful marble. The home can also be made into a convertible three bedroom (alternate floor plan attached).The kitchen was designed with the modern-day chef in mind, and no detail was forgone. The customized open kitchen features a paneled Bosch and Fisher and Paykel appliance package with a full-sized paneled dishwasher, additional pantry storage, white quartz counter tops, and a large breakfast bar. It also features a rare, hidden washer and dryer, which has been grandfathered into the unit. The design takes into account entertaining and modern living alike.The living and dining rooms are truly the showcase of the home, featuring ample space to comfortably lounge, while still allowing a full-sized dining set of 8-10 guests. The pin-drop quiet home is bathed in natural light, accented with decorative and recessed lighting for a relaxing ambiance, and overlooks views of Madison Avenue and vibrant Central Park sunsets.The master bedroom suite comfortably allows for a king-sized bed with nightstands, plus plenty of room for extra storage and seating. The room is finished off with custom white linen curtains and complemented with two large closets, one a full walk-in, with custom built-ins to maximize storage space.

The second bedroom, which also easily fits a king-sized bed, is ideally separated from the primary with its own adjacent bathroom and outfitted closet. The secondary bathroom thoughtfully matches the primary in hand-selected Calacatta marble.Decorative molding, designer hardware, a plethora of built out storage closets (seven in total), and four newly installed through-wall AC units with custom radiator covers complete the home's finish.40 E 78th Street, The Charles House, is a full-service condominium building with a newly renovated lobby and impeccable 24-hour staff that includes two on-shift doormen, concierge and live-in superintendent.
