"Please note some pictures are virtually staged"

Brimming with potential, this south facing, prewar convertible three bedroom, three full bath home with wood burning fireplace offers the rare opportunity to create the spacious two or three bedroom home of your dreams. One of the largest and most versatile apartments in Eastgate, Residence 3A is currently configured as a spacious two-bedroom home with a dining room and a separate gallery. With ease, this exceptional residence can be converted into a three-bedroom abode with eat-in-kitchen or separate dining . Apartment 3A showcases the finest elements of prewar design, including hardwood floors, 8.5-foot beamed ceilings, French doors, and a working fireplace.

Upon entering, you are welcomed by a charming gallery, presently used as an office, featuring original steel doors and frames, which add a nice patina to the room and set the stage for this prewar home. In an alternate plan, this space can be used as dining or incorporated into the adjacent kitchen to become an expansive eat-in-kitchen. The gallery flows into an almost eleven-foot foyer with two generous closets and ample room for furniture.

The expansive living room boasts a working wood-burning fireplace and views over picturesque East 73rd Street. To the left, the dining room-framed by two French doors-connects to a windowed kitchen with original metal cabinetry and butcher block countertops. Maintaining this layout allows for excellent north-south cross ventilation and convenient access to the third bathroom for guests. Alternatively, the dining room can be transformed into an office or third bedroom with an ensuite bath.

The spacious primary bedroom easily accommodates a king bed, has a large walk-in-closet, and boasts a renovated ensuite bath with Graff fixtures and Toto toilet. The second bedroom is equally large with its own walk-in closet and renovated bath with shower.

This prewar gem is located in one of the coveted Bing & Bing buildings just steps off Third Avenue. Residents enjoy a 24-hour doorman, a full-time superintendent, a landscaped backyard garden with a barbecue, a gym, a bike room, private storage, central laundry, and a front-row seat to the enchanting winter tree lights on East 73rd Street. Maintenance includes electricity, water, and access to the gym. Washer/dryer, pied-à-terres, and pets are permitted.
