Description

This newly renovated, sun-soaked home is a showstopper with stunning wraparound river and city views from southern, eastern, and northern exposures. Enjoy private outdoor space, a large eat-in kitchen, high ceilings, and an in-unit washer/dryer, all in a full-service luxury condo.

Light pours into the elegant gallery entrance hall from the living area, where nearly 40 feet of oversized east-facing windows boast gorgeous river views. The northern and southern exposures are equally beautiful with views all the way to the Chrysler building. The living room proper is almost 32 feet long with an adjacent den that can function as a fourth bedroom. The den is separated by pocket doors and features eastern and southern exposures.

The extra large eat-in kitchen faces east and north. The balcony off the kitchen allows you to bask in sunrises or sunsets, with views that stretch from the river to the west side. This is truly a suburban kitchen, with grand dimensions and featuring two ovens, an island, and fantastic storage. The top-of-the-line appliances include a Viking range, stovetop, hood, two ovens, and a microwave. There is also a Subzero wine cooler and refrigerator.

The primary bedroom is located in a separate wing for maximum privacy and comes with an oversized custom walk-in closet, separate shoe closet, and a windowed en-suite bathroom with a tub and shower stall. Sweeping open city views fill the suite with natural light.

The additional two bedrooms are in their own separate wing. They each have beautiful views from southern exposures, ample closet space, and en-suite bathrooms. Both bedrooms easily accommodate queen size beds with plenty of space for additional furniture.

The stylish finishes throughout this home include beautiful herringbone floors, crown moldings and baseboards, a large entry closet, nearly 9 foot ceilings, and an in-unit washer/dryer. 31C is a corner unit with no neighbors on either side. There are only three units on the floor total, and 31C is separated from the other two units by a hallway, stairs, and elevators.

Leighton House is a full-service condominium with a 24-hour door attendant, concierge, and top-notch live-in resident manager. Building amenities include a windowed health club with double-height ceilings, yoga studio, and saunas, a landscaped garden with a playground and basketball court, and a common laundry room on the second floor. Pets and investors are welcome.

The building is located in the heart of the Upper East Side, proximate to charming restaurants and retail, Whole Foods, Fairway, and the beloved Carl Schurz Park – a mini Central Park offering multiple grassy knolls, playgrounds, basketball and hockey courts, two dog parks, and the highly desirable East River Promenade. The building is also convenient to multiple transportation options: the Second Avenue subway, the 4/5/6 trains, the 86th Street crosstown bus, and the 90th Street ferry.
