Description

Move right into this rarely available, high-floor E-line residence, perfectly positioned in one of Fifth Avenue’s most distinguished white-glove cooperatives, designed in 1939 by acclaimed American architect Emery Roth. This gracious two-bedroom home is distinguished by its beautiful proportions, thoughtful layout, and high-quality finishes. Designed for versatile entertaining, the expansive living room showcases high beamed ceilings and gorgeous hardwood floors, seamlessly flowing into Emery Roth’s signature curved dining oval. The living room overlooks 69th Street to the north and is highlighted by a stunning west-facing bay window, capturing framed Central Park views and glowing late-afternoon and evening light. Separated by well-crafted pocket doors, one of the original bedrooms has been transformed into a stunning library, also facing onto 69th Street, with artfully designed custom millwork. A lovely ensuite bathroom with floor-to-ceiling tile and a large glass shower completes the space, which can easily be restored to its former use as a bedroom. A butler’s pantry leads to the windowed kitchen, which showcases custom cabinetry, granite countertops, abundant storage, a breakfast counter, and high-end appliances including Thermador, Sub-Zero, and Asko. The primary bedroom is a private retreat, featuring ample closet space and a beautifully designed bathroom with marble and mosaic tile, a deep soaking tub, and a separate glass-enclosed shower. The residence is equipped with through-wall A/C throughout, and a private storage bin transfers with the sale. In-unit washer/dryer is permitted with board approval.
