Description

INCREDIBLY RARE OPPORTUNITY to buy a prewar classic Nine Room apartment that has just finished a complete, meticulous, and top-of-the-line renovation. Never lived in, this turn-key stunning corner apartment is one of a kind. A private elevator landing leads to a gracious entry gallery. The expansive 17 × 24.5 foot living room is flooded with light, has a wood-burning fireplace, and is flanked by two additional gracious entertaining rooms. To the north, there is a beautifully proportioned dining room complete with hidden temperature-controlled wine storage. To the south, there is a superb library with new custom millwork with high gloss paneling. This sophisticated floorplan boasts a suite of entertaining rooms all facing west over Lexington Avenue with sunny exposures. Off of the gallery, there is a private bedroom hallway with three oversized bedrooms each with a newly renovated en suite bath. The primary bedroom has 5 closets and an attached dressing room with 2 additional closets. These three bedrooms all face south over tree-line East 73rd Street. Also, accessed off of the gallery is a fourth full bathroom which is perfectly situated as a powder room and to service the sizable staff room. The pristine new kitchen has marble countertops and top appliances including a six-burner Wolf range with griddle that vents to the exterior and an oversized side-by-side SubZero refrigerator. There is a charming breakfast room off the kitchen which fits an ample sized table and chairs. There is also a well-placed washer dryer. The apartment has new central air conditioning throughout. Built in 1925 by notable architect J.E.R. Carpenter, this prewar cooperative has a full-time doorman, live-in Superintendent, and wonderful long-term staff. A storage unit transfers with the apartment. 50% financing is permitted as are pets.

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.
