Description
The semi-private landing sets the elegant tone for this sprawling residence. A large welcoming foyer unfolds into an open-plan over-scaled living and dining room. The graceful flow that exists between these two adjacent rooms is ideal for entertaining. Gentle light from ten large windows brings a natural texture to this expansive space. This entertainer's dream dining room looks over historic, charming Henderson Place townhouses, and has custom-built cabinetry that houses a cocktail bar. The smartly planned, enclosed corner balcony home office is perfect for today's work lifestyle. The windowed kitchen delivers practically and aesthetically with good counter space, breakfast bar, plentiful custom cabinets and pantry storage. Top-tier appliances include a Viking refrigerator, two dishwasher drawers, a full-size washer, vented dryer and vented oven exhaust, If you're a fan of the open concept kitchen, this space can be reimagined - opened up to the grand living/dining space.
A hallway off the entry foyer leads to the bedroom wing and provides access to the gracious powder room with exquisite marble console and Sherle Wagner fittings. The peaceful primary bedroom has five closets in addition to two walk-in closets and the ensuite marble bathroom features a steam shower. The well-scaled, cheerfully bright guest room also has an ensuite bathroom and has roomy closets, custom-built-in bookcases, shelves, and storage space that provides flexible functionality.
The beauty of this residence is that it can be re-invented, or just shined up some. The proposed alternate plan for this coveted corner residence can be an inspiration for your own creative transformation of this home. I look forward to introducing you and your design team to space, location, and opportunity - all in a pet-friendly full-service luxury cooperative featuring a full-time doorman, concierge, resident manager, private garage, gym, bike room, individual storage and a magnificently landscaped common garden. This prime location is 1/2 a block from Carl Schurz Park, one block from the East River Promenade, and adjacent to historic Henderson Place. Close by is every area cultural, shopping, dining, entertainment, and fitness destination not to mention a plethora of easy transportation options. Life here is easy, fun, and convenient. Henderson House is financially sound with no underlying mortgage and the building does not impose a flip tax on sales.

About Upper East Side
View All Upper East Side ListingsThe 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.
