Description

This stunning home, with triple exposure was gut-renovated from top to bottom to the highest standards and is ready to move in. It is a unique layout in the building, as it is the A line plus a bedroom and bath from the B line that was seamlessly added to it, making it an expansive four bedroom plus formal dining room. Everything has been done for you beautifully, including wide-planked white oak flooring, high-end baths, designer chef's kitchen, custom millwork and closets, new lighting, and surround-sound speakers in the living room, just to name a few.

A gracious wide hallway leads to an impressively large living room to the right and open formal dining room to the left, creating a total expanse of 46 feet. The sun-flooded living room enjoys open river and skyline views. The contemporary high-styled L-shaped kitchen has a window and was remodeled with custom white lacquer cabinetry, Silestone countertops and backsplash, top-end appliances (Wolf gas range with charbroil grill, Wolf microwave, 30' sink, Bosch dishwasher and Subzero refrigerator), and abundant storage including 3 pantries. The apartment not only boasts a full-sized WASHER/DRYER that vents out, but also has a full laundry room. Each bath was designed with marble flooring, 2 baths have radiant heated floors, three have showers and one has a tub. If desired, you could change one of the showers to another tub. All closets are custom fitted, and some are walk-ins. Each bedroom is very spacious, as this building is known for it's large rooms and gracious lay-outs.

York Towers is a well-managed cooperative and only has 6 apartments on this floor. It was built as a co-op and has always been 100% owner-occupied. It has the advantage of owning the commercial ground space, which generates rental income, and allows the building to keep their maintenance fees low. There is a 24 hour concierge, live-in building manager, a gorgeous furnished ROOF-DECK, private garage (with waiting list), bike room and central laundry. It is in a wonderful neighborhood minutes from restaurant, cafes, food markets (Agata & Valentino!), sought-after parks (John Jay and Carl Shurz), and the East River Promenade. You even have a post office and library across the street. Also convenient to public transportation - the Q and 6 subway line, and buses going uptown, downtown and crosstown. An added bonus is the building is getting a brand new facade, beautiful lobby, and elevator cabs. Most of the work is finished on the facade, and the lobby renovation will start this summer. The assessment for this work for this apartment is $1,143/month and goes through February, 2023. However since the base maintenance is $3,988, when you add the assessment, you still have a rather low maintenance and it's just for another year or so. Another fantastic advantage is that all utilities, including ELECTRIC, are included in the maintenance, which only a handful of buildings offer. Pets and Pied-a-terres welcome.

The Upper East Side remains the gold standard for classic New York elegance. Known for 'Museum Mile' and its quiet, 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.
