Description

Timeless Pre-War Sophistication on the Upper East Side.

Step into this glamorous, sun-filled approximately 3,000 sq. ft. residence, where grand entertaining spaces seamlessly coexist with private, serene quarters. This luxurious four-bedroom plus library home boasts tree-top views, southern exposures, abundant natural light, and the enduring charm of a Classic “9 into 8” pre-war layout.

Off its own semi-private elevator landing, you are welcomed by a 14' x 14' entrance gallery, thoughtfully designed with beautiful symmetry and generous closets—an elegant prelude to the home’s refined spaces. The gallery flows into a palatial double living room, 37' x 20', with five oversized south-facing windows. Perfectly proportioned, the living room is anchored by two striking wood-burning fireplaces on either side, creating a dramatic yet inviting focal point.

The gourmet eat-in kitchen is a chef’s dream, thoughtfully renovated with crisp white custom cabinetry, Caesarstone countertops, rich wood floors, and a cozy banquette. State-of-the-art appliances include a Sub-Zero refrigerator and freezer, Thermador dishwasher, Viking four-burner range and oven. A windowed bathroom completes this bright and cheerful space.

The apartment offers a gracious flow with a split-bedroom layout. The primary suite features a southern exposure, exceptional closets, and a windowed marble bathroom with an oversized shower. On the eastern wing, three additional bedrooms and two full bathrooms provide comfortable, well-proportioned spaces—one with an en-suite bath—perfect for family or guests.
This pre-war home is rich with architectural details, hardwood floors throughout, abundant closets, and an exceptional sense of space.
