Description

Renovated 2 Bedroom + Office, 2 Terraces, and Gas Fireplace

High floor open city views await you in this recently updated Lenox Hill home. West and South exposures flood this gorgeous apartment with light, and the two terraces connect you to the open skies and city below. Many upgrades have been completed by the owner including brand new LED lighting, smart home switches, smart thermostats for the central heat & air conditioning, and all refinished floors and surfaces.

Enter into a gracious entry foyer which leads into the open concept kitchen and living & dining areas. The kitchen has been updated with a beautiful Calacatta Laza Quartz waterfall countertop and backsplash, while all the cabinetry has been refinished in a maple wood stain. A suite of Viking & Sub-Zero appliances make this kitchen a pleasure to cook and entertain in. The generous living and dining space opens to a wall of windows, has a gas fireplace to set the mood, and leads seamlessly to one of two terraces.

The primary bedroom has a large entry hall of its own, a Washer/Dryer, an ensuite bathroom with separate deep tub and stall shower has been updated with new Dornbracht fixtures, and is more than large enough for a king sized bed. Off the bedroom is an extra space that is a perfect home office or reading nook - which leads out onto the second outdoor space. There is also a huge walk-in cedar closet. The second bedroom easily fits a queen bed, seating and storage furniture, and there is a full second bath accessible to both residents and guests.

205 East 59th Street is a beautifully designed condominium by architect Richard Dattner offering white glove service. Amenities include a Full Time Doorman and Concierge, newly renovated fitness center, recently upgraded full floor landscaped terrace with a sun deck, newly redesigned hallways, children's playground, and an outdoor covered dog park, plus a common laundry room. The building is centrally located in Lenox Hill, close to Central Park, Bloomingdales, convenient transportation, and arguably the best restaurants and shopping NYC has to offer. Two blocks from Whole Foods and the new Trader Joe's.

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.
