Prewar Elegance. Classic Six Room in Prime East 70s High above the street with open views over terraced penthouses and restored townhouses, this serene, three-bedroom, two-bath Classic Six is ideally located in a distinguished Upper East cooperative. The graceful building lobby is attended by a full-time doorman/elevator operator, who escorts guests into a wood-paneled, brass-gated elevator serving a semi-private landing. Inside the residence, a proper foyer opens to beautifully proportioned, light-filled rooms showcasing timeless details – high ceilings, crown moldings, exposed beams, original paneled doors, oversized windows, and hand-stenciled hardwood floors. The elegant living room is anchored by a wood-burning fireplace with carved mantel, framed by double-hung windows and custom cabinetry. A bright formal dining room with north and east exposures comfortably seats eight and is ideal for elegant entertaining. The windowed galley kitchen offers high-end appliances, generous prep space, a walk-in pantry and an adjacent flexible room (formerly staff quarters with bath plumbing intact). The private wing offers a corner primary suite with south and east light, abundant closets and a windowed bath. A second bedroom enjoys open eastern views, excellent storage, and a spacious shower bath. Thermostatically controlled through-wall heat and a/c, and an in-unit washer and dryer complete this space. 955 Lexington Avenue is a white-glove cooperative offering a live-in resident manager, private storage, common roof terrace, bicycle room, laundry, and even firewood delivery to your door.
