Description

Welcome to Roosevelt Island, the city’s best-kept secret, located just one subway stop from Midtown Manhattan! Residence 1312 is a stunning duplex featuring 3 bedrooms and 2.5 bathrooms. Eastern and Western exposures offer an incredible amount of light, as well as breathtaking river and city views. Spanning over 1,600 sqft across two floors, coupled with an abundance of storage, you will enjoy a perfect balance between city life and suburban serenity.

This newly designed home enjoys luxury finishes throughout, further elevated by oversized windows, crown moldings, and beautiful hardwood floors. The well-thought-out layout offers immense privacy, with the living and bedroom areas split across two levels. The living area basks in Eastern sunlight and has a well-placed built-in office nook that seamlessly integrates with the rest of the space. The dining area is spacious enough for large gatherings and flows into the open-plan kitchen. The chef’s kitchen comes fully equipped with stainless steel Viking appliances, custom cabinetry, and a breakfast bar, thus creating an incredible space for living and entertaining. The powder room is conveniently located on the same floor.

Downstairs is the bedroom wing, with the primary suite tucked away on one side and the other two bedrooms on the other. The primary bedroom features an en-suite bathroom, two large closets (including a walk-in), and stunning Western exposure with direct city and water views. The second full bathroom is located in the hallway for easy access by the other bedrooms. Additionally, there is an in-unit washer and dryer for your convenience, as well as a separate private storage unit outside the apartment on the same floor for additional storage needs.
