From the original listing · Realtor.comShow

On the top floor of an elegant Upper East Side pre-war cooperative, this corner one-bedroom is quietly positioned, away from street noise. Filled with natural light, the apartment features high ceilings and has undergone a complete gut renovation with meticulous attention to detail, including seven-inch white oak floors throughout, custom moldings and millwork, new doors and hardware, through-the-wall air conditioning, and Hunter Douglas shades. Equally suited to a weekend pied-a-terre or full-time home, the apartment is truly move-in ready. You enter through a gracious foyer with two large closets. The foyer opens onto an expansive living and dining room, beautifully proportioned for both entertaining and everyday life. A chef's dream, the windowed kitchen features custom solid maple cabinetry by Gregory Woodworks LLC of Connecticut, with hand-cut dovetail joinery, soft-close hinges, Carrara countertops, and Waterworks fixtures, alongside an integrated Liebherr refrigerator and freezer, a Miele dishwasher, a Fisher & Paykel gas range and oven, and a convection microwave. The corner bedroom is generously sized and comfortably accommodates a king-size bed. It offers open city views and a walk-in closet with custom built-ins, thoughtfully designed for organized living. The windowed bathroom reflects the same level of craftsmanship, with custom cabinetry, a Carrara marble countertop, Waterworks fixtures, and designer stone and tile. Ideally situated just a few blocks from the subway, bus lines, and Central Park, the apartment is surrounded by the Upper East Side's celebrated shopping, dining, and everyday conveniences. This impeccably run, full-service, pet-friendly cooperative is superbly staffed, with full-time doormen and a live-in super. The building also offers a laundry room, bicycle room, and private garden, and permits financing of up to 75%, with a 2% flip tax paid by the purchaser.
