Uncommon Opportunity to secure a spacious 2 bedroom, 2 bath East Side Condo with over 1250 SF interior and over 300 SF private exterior space with unparalleled light and views! No matter where you find yourself in this high-floor jewel box, the sunshine and light will envelope you! Enter the sprawling open-plan home through the gracious foyer, where you can appreciate the majestic 50 foot long combined living room and dining space, able to also accommodate a desk area, piano, and so much more. Manifold large windows grace the perimeter and welcome stunning East River as well as open-city views. The versatile loft-like interior provides the perfect venue for entertaining---as does the beguiling grand terrace. The dining area is generous and enjoys river views, vast light, as well as provides an entrée to the enormous terrace. Adjacent to it, the renovated kitchen boasts high-end stainless-steel appliances including a Sub-Zero Refrigerator and Wolf Oven. The elegant glass backsplash complements copious cabinets and the kitchen window is graced with an East River view. The oversized primary bedroom affords West and South views, and easily accommodates a king size bed and substantial furniture. The renovated en-suite bath is spa-like, windowed, and features crisp white marble and stylish contemporary blue glass tiling. The second bedroom is also generous in size, replete with bountiful closet space and adjacent to a second marble full bath. The piece de resistance is the vast terrace. With brand new railings, this 50 foot long and 6 ½ foot wide private space affords stunning East River Views, abundant light, as well as open city views. The amount of “river-side” square footage is truly astounding. The space more than accommodates a table, couch, a grill, and whatever else you might fancy. For those occasions when you are indoors, this home features through-the-wall air conditioning and heating units as wells as wide-plank hardwood floors throughout. It even has a separate washer and dryer room within. Gregory Towers is a pet-friendly full-service doorman condo with a live-in Super, garage, central laundry and bike storage—all with unusually low monthlies.

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.
