300 E 55TH Street #22C

In the Milan Condominium, the highest floors rarely come to market, so we are thrilled to present this stunning 3BR/3BTH with mesmerizing views of the surrounding Midtown East cityscape and East River. Just shy of 1900 SF, the public spaces of the apartment are dramatic, warm and welcoming. The loft-like living room has 10 foot ceilings and floor-to-ceiling windows that wrap East and South. The adjacent bedroom is currently configured as a study, accessible from the living room and finished in rare mahogany and Makasser Ebony. An adjoining full bathroom can be either en-suite for a bedroom or open to the entry foyer for guest use. The eat-in kitchen is bathed in light from a large picture window and includes striated cabinetry by SieMatic, dark stone countertops, and commercial-grade appliances from Miele and Viking. In the bedroom wing, the corner master suite has generous and gracious proportions and is appointed with customized closets, and a built-in desk, storage and remote-controlled hidden flat screen television. The en-suite master bath has a teak double-sink vanity, azure glass tiles, a frameless-glass shower, a separate soaking tub and fixtures by Waterworks. The especially large second bedroom also has a customized closet and built-in desk and storage, and motorized shades and an en-suite marble bath as well.Throughout the apartment, there is soffit lighting, along with built-in speakers, and hardwood floors of Brazilian Cherry. A vented washer and dryer is located in a separate hall closet in the unit. The Milan set the standard for luxury in Midtown East when it was built in 2005. The airy, light-filled lobby is both minimalist and organic in style and leads to a serene glass-framed bamboo garden. The building has a 24-hour concierge and door staff, a live-in resident manager, a fitness room, bicycle and personal storage, a garage for daily or monthly parking, and a special event area for residents. It is is conveniently located within 2 -3 blocks of major express bus lines and subways, and is surrounded by the vibrant commercial and entertainment corridors of Midtown East. It is also just blocks from the neighborhood GreenMarket, Whole Foods, the coming East River Greenway, and the brand-new technology campus of Cornell University in New York City. The Milan is investor-friendly (immediate rentals permitted) and apartments can be purchased in trust or in the name of an LLC. Buyers who purchase to use as a primary residence may be eligible for a reduction of the stated real estate taxes. Please ask us about that program if it applies to you. Please call or e-mail for a private appointment to visit this singular residence in NYC.
