From the original listing · Realtor.comShow

Perched atop Saxon Towers, this exceptional and rarely available residence offers a unique combination of expansive living space, abundant natural light, and incredible flexibility - all in one of the Upper East Side's most desirable full-service cooperatives. Currently configured as an oversized one-bedroom with two full bathrooms, Apartment 19A offers an easy opportunity to create a true two-bedroom residence. The spacious dining room - currently used as an open dining area/home office - already features a large closet and beautiful corner south and east-facing windows, making it a natural second bedroom or dedicated home office. Flooded with natural light from south, east, and north exposures, 19A enjoys open city views and nearly 9-foot ceilings (8'10"), creating an airy, loft-like feel rarely found in post-war cooperatives. The thoughtfully designed layout features a generously proportioned living room that easily accommodates both expansive living and formal dining areas should the dining room be converted into a second bedroom. The large windowed kitchen offers abundant natural light and excellent functionality, while both full bathrooms are windowed - a highly desirable feature. The oversized primary bedroom easily accommodates a king-size bed with additional furniture and features a windowed en-suite bathroom. Privately tucked away on the opposite side of the apartment from the entertaining spaces, it offers a peaceful retreat with exceptional separation from the future second bedroom or home office. Six large closets throughout the apartment provide exceptional storage. Six large closets throughout the apartment provide exceptional storage. Apartment 19A is truly one of the building's most unique offerings. Situated on the top floor of the building, this elusive penthouse floor contains only four apartments, offering a quieter, more private living experience with no upstairs neighbors. The floor also benefits from distinctive floor plans and higher ceilings not found elsewhere in the building. Saxon Towers is a well-established cooperative built in 1964, ideally and centrally located in the heart of the Upper East Side. Residents enjoy a full-time doorman, live-in resident manager, wonderful and supportive staff, beautifully renovated lobby and hallways, landscaped roof deck, central laundry room, bicycle storage, private storage (subject to waitlist), and a pet-friendly policy. Perfectly positioned just moments from Central Park, Carl Schurz Park, Madison Avenue shopping, Museum Mile, and many of the Upper East Side's finest restaurants. The building also offers exceptional convenience with nearby access to the 4/5/6 and Q subway lines and the crosstown bus on 86th Street. All measurements and square footages are approximate and all information should be confirmed by customer. Alternative floor plan has been provided for illustrative purposes only and has not been reviewed nor approved by the Coop Board. Alterations are subject to applicable rules, regulations and approval by the Coop Board and New York City Department of Buildings.
