Description

The Benson is an elegant boutique residential building developed by Naftali Group as a tribute to the architectural legacy of the Upper East Side. Perfectly located at 79th Street and Madison Avenue, The Benson sits just one block from Central Park and the Metropolitan Museum of Art. The building's facade is comprised of hand-carved, hand-laid Indiana limestone, distinctive mullioned windows, and a series of gracious set-back terraces detailed with intricate ironwork to exemplify the building's classic uptown character. Residence 3B faces west onto pretty, tree-lined Madison Avenue from oversized windows. This grand and graceful split two-bedroom, two-and-a-half-bathroom home includes a generous living room, a coveted split bedroom layout and a Christopher Peacock custom-designed kitchen with Miele appliances. The primary bedroom suite evokes the romance of a luxury Parisian hotel. It has generous closets and a beautiful five fixture bath. The spacious second bedroom has an oversized west facing window and en-suite bathroom. The floors throughout the apartment are white oak, in a chevron pattern in the entertaining areas and long plank elsewhere. The apartment also has its own laundry room with a washer and dryer. The Benson features a collection of club-like amenities including a beautifully landscaped rooftop lounge with scenic Central Park views and a fire pit; a private cinema; private spa with sauna and steam room; creative art studio for all ages; wood-paneled library with an adjoining landscaped garden; a half- basketball court and a state-of-the-art fitness center. The lobby is attended 24-hours a day with a doorman and concierge service. Additional features include a pet spa with washing station, bicycle storage, cold storage with room for fresh food and flower deliveries and private storage available for purchase. The complete offering terms are in an offering plan available from the sponsor, file number CD18-0471.

The Upper East Side remains the gold standard for classic New York elegance. Known for 'Museum Mile' and its low-traffic, tree-lined streets, the neighborhood offers a refined lifestyle away from the midtown bustle. While famous for its historic cooperatives, the area has seen a recent surge in ultra-luxury new construction condos, particularly along the Second Avenue Subway corridor, making it a top choice for both traditionalists and modern buyers.
