From the original listing · Realtor.comShow

Oversized Junior 4 with Open Views, Excellent Light, and Renovated Kitchen and Bath Perched on the 14th floor of Lenox House, this oversized Junior 4 offers exceptional scale, abundant natural light, and a flexible layout in the heart of the Upper East Side. The expansive living and dining area provides a generous sense of space, with eastern-facing windows overlooking open city and rooftop views. The separate dining area offers flexibility for a home office, additional seating, or as a dedicated dining space, while the overall layout allows for comfortable living and entertaining. At the heart of the home is a beautifully renovated kitchen that has been opened up beyond the building's original G-line galley configuration. The walls have been removed to create a seamless connection to the living and dining areas, with a substantial peninsula, abundant countertop space, stainless steel appliances, and a built-in wine refrigerator. The result is a much more open and functional kitchen that feels conducive for modern living. The California king-sized bedroom is also eastern-facing, bringing in beautiful morning light, and offers ample room for a work-from-home setup as well as additional furniture. Generous closet space is a major advantage, with four large closets throughout the apartment providing excellent storage. The renovated bathroom features a sophisticated design, floor-to-ceiling tile, and a glass-enclosed walk-in shower. Additionally, there is a potential opportunity to convert the apartment into a 2-bedroom layout. Lenox House is a full-service cooperative with a 24-hour doorman, live-in superintendent, state-of-the-art fitness center, community room, storage lockers, laundry facility, and bike storage. The lobby was tastefully renovated, and two new elevators were recently installed. The building owns three retail spaces, helping to keep maintenance costs low. Located in the heart of the Upper East Side, Lenox House is near an excellent selection of restaurants, including Uva, Nightly's, and Lusardi's, with convenient access to neighborhood shopping, transportation, and the many amenities of the Upper East Side. Up to 75% financing permitted. Washer/dryers are allowed with Board approval. One dog per apartment is permitted, up to 30 pounds. Pied-a-terres are considered on a case-by-case basis. Some photos have been virtually staged.
