From the original listing · Realtor.comShow

"A thing of beauty is a joy forever." - Keats Bright, beautifully conceived and thoughtfully designed, this jumbo, high-floor home has the light, proportion and flexibility that lend themselves to easy living. The open kitchen is both handsome and functional, featuring a Sub-Zero refrigerator, Bertazzoni range, stainless steel dishwasher, wood cabinetry, marble countertops and exposed brick. At its center is a generous breakfast bar that becomes part of the home's rhythm: coffee in the morning, preparing dinner, a quick bite, or friends pulling up a stool while you cook. It's a kitchen designed not just to look good, but to actually be lived in. It opens directly into an oversized living room framed by a wall of windows, with plenty of room for a proper dining table, a generous living area and the kind of entertaining that starts with dinner and a glass of red and somehow goes much later. There is also more than enough space to create a comfortable work-from-home setup without sacrificing the room itself. Tucked quietly in the back of the apartment, the bedroom enjoys open views and multiple exposures. Just off the bedroom, a space currently set up as a nursery gives the apartment unusual flexibility. Keep it as a nursery, turn it into a home office, or create the large walk-in dressing room you've always wanted. The smartly appointed bathroom is finished in floor-to-ceiling white marble with Kohler fixtures. Hardwood plank floors, custom closets and smart built-ins complete the home. Washer/dryers are permitted with board approval. What makes 16H special isn't any one feature. It's how well everything works together: the size, the layout, the finishes, the functionality, the views and enough space to work, host, cook, unwind and actually live. East View House is a full-service Upper East Side cooperative with exceptional staff, including a 24-hour doorman and live-in resident manager. The building also has a garage and is conveniently located one block from the Second Avenue Subway, with additional subway options nearby. Whether you're heading downtown, across town or just about anywhere else in the city, getting around is remarkably easy. Some photos are virtually staged for illustrative purposes. Pied-a-terres are ok, up to 75% financing allowed and dogs under 25 lbs. are permitted. There is a capital assessment of 548.06 through 2027
