150 E 73RD Street #3A

Graciously YoursHomes rarely become available at 150 East 73rd Street, an elegant prewar building with an understated but intimate and welcoming lobby. Your semi-private landing reinforces the aura of elegance, intimacy and home. This continues upon entrance into the large foyer with coat closet, leading into the graciously proportioned corner, high ceiling living room with wood-burning fireplace and detailed moldings. The west facing extra-wide window provides lovely light and overlooks the townhouses across Lexington Avenue, while the steady northern exposure has a long view up the Avenue and onto tree-lined 73rd Street. The classic-5 layout feels spacious and sprawling with 2 split bedrooms; the primary bedroom with en-suite bath is tucked away off the living room, while the 2nd bedroom is on the other side of the apartment, assuring privacy. Both baths are windowed. The formal dining room with 2 windows has beautiful herringbone floors and can serve other functions depending upon your needs and lifestyle: as a 3rd bedroom, or if preferred, opened to the living room, with pocket or French doors; a double parlor to entertain. The large butler's pantry with original cabinets and hardware is a wonderful bonus to the adjacent windowed eat-in-kitchen with a 6-burner professional Viking dual stove (gas range and electric oven). Original details such as molding, transoms, glass knobs and hardware are timeless, and beautifully co-exist with the homey feel of the apartment and building. This full service building with live-in super and 24 hour doorman was built in 1923 and converted to coop in 1949. The building is well maintained with low maintenance. The apartment comes with a large deeded storage space (approximately 12' x 8'). The location is quite special with a distinctly European feel. There is a wonderful array of small restaurants, boutiques and 2 French bakeries around the corner. The building is situated in close proximity to mass transportation. W/D Allowed; Through Wall AC allowed with Board and Landmark approval; Financing 50%. No weekend showings. Buyer flip tax 3%.*Living Room Virtually Staged.
