Welcome home to your 2 bed (convertible to 3 bed), 2 bath country retreat high atop an Emory Roth designed, Bing & Bing built, full-service building located on one of the prettiest, most desirable, tree-lined blocks on the Upper East Side. THE TERRACE No expense was spared in the design and planting of this spectacular wrap around terrace. Designed and maintained by one of Manhattan's premier landscape and floral designers, the almost 1,000 square foot terrace incorporates a mix of specimen trees, evergreens and seasonal flowers ensuring a beautiful setting all year round. With access from the kitchen, living room and primary bedroom, the vast outdoor space is a true extension of the apartment and is optimally planned and situated for outdoor living and socially distanced entertaining. A dining table that comfortably seats 8 and a large living area with a sofa and two chairs provide ample room to host small or large gatherings. In addition, a quiet corner with a chaise and bistro table off the primary bedroom offers a peaceful sanctuary to enjoy a cup of coffee and soak up the sun and the surrounding beauty of this exceptional terrace. Additional features include a complete irrigation system, exterior lighting and a mechanical awning. THE APARTMENT The beauty outside is enjoyed in every room in this gracious apartment. With south, east and west exposures, sun floods the apartment all day. A split bedroom layout affords ample privacy and a third room off the center hall that is currently used as a nursery/home office can easily be converted to a third bedroom. The large corner living room has south and west exposures with two windows/doors on each side and is spacious enough to comfortably accommodate a dining table. The wood burning fireplace and the abundant greenery and light from the multiple windows makes this room a perfect retreat from the bustle of the city. The large corner primary bedroom features a wood burning fireplace, a large walk in closet/dressing room and a full, renovated, windowed marble bathroom. The second bedroom faces west and has a walk in closet and a renovated en-suite bath. The windowed eat in kitchen features modern appliances, a desk area and a door to the terrace directly leading to the outdoor dining table making for the ultimate in convenience for dining outside.
