Description
Located in a full-service condominium on 78th and Madison, this 3-bedroom, 3-bathroom home is a rare find and not to be missed. Off the large entrance gallery is the sprawling living room, which faces north onto tree-lined E 78th Street, and the separate formal dining room, creating the perfect flow for entertaining and everyday living. The primary bedroom enjoys a corner view facing north and east with lovely tree-top views, and is complete with two large closets, a custom built armoire and an ensuite windowed marble bath with a stall shower with massaging jets and Waterworks fixtures. The second bedroom, which is currently being used as a library, is ideally separated from the primary in its own wing with an ensuite bath, two double closets and custom built-ins. The windowed eat-in kitchen is adjacent to the formal dining room and features top-of-the-line appliances, a center island large enough to comfortably accommodate 4 for informal dining and an abundance of countertop space making this the perfect kitchen for a serious chef. The third bedroom/office is off the kitchen and has its own full bath with a brand new washer/dryer, built-in bookcases and an oversized pantry closet. Walnut floors, decorative crown molding, solid mahogany doors with designer hardware, a plethora of storage, and newly installed through-wall AC units in the living and dining rooms, primary bedroom and study complete the home. The Charles House is a pet-friendly, full-service building with 24-hour doorman, live-in super, garage, fitness room, private storage, bike room, and a planted roof deck with sweeping views of Central Park. Pieds-a-terre and investors are welcome. Please note, the listed monthly taxes are before abatements.
