Description
3 Bed/3.5 Bath Prewar Duplex Combination Opportunity
Bring your architect! Rare opportunity to combine an elegant 2 bedroom/2.5 bath prewar duplex with the adjacent studio to create an incomparable 3 bedroom home with soaring ceilings and incredible light and views.
Apartment 7A/8A was originally a six room duplex which featured a gracious entrance gallery, magnificent north-facing living room with a wood burning fireplace, formal dining room, windowed kitchen, staff room and full bath on the lower level. The living room and dining room have since been combined to create a nearly 40 foot great room with 13 foot ceilings and a wall of casement windows offering river and bridge views. The kitchen, pantry, powder room and a laundry room await your vision.
The upper level of the duplex consists of a north-facing bedroom with river and bridge views and an en-suite bathroom. The second bedroom faces south and has a windowed en-suite bathroom. Adjacent to the upper level of Apartment 7A/8A is Apartment 8B, a north-facing studio apartment with a wood-burning fireplace, large casement windows, beamed ceilings and a windowed bathroom. The studio easily combines with the duplex to create a sprawling one-of-a-kind 3 bedroom home.
Last renovated in the 1970's, these apartments are being sold in As Is condition. Square footage quoted is approximate. All alterations are subject to coop Board approval.
Designed by Emery Roth and built by Bing & Bing in 1929, 444 East 52nd Street is an elegant full-service prewar cooperative with a full-time doorman, elevator operator and live-in super. This pet-friendly 11-story building with just 49 apartments is located on a quiet cul-de-sac that overlooks the east river. Pied-a-terres permitted with Board approval. Maximum 75% financing. This building is NOT a land-lease.
