Studio apartment for sale

Overview

This is a stunning family-home with prewar charm and elegant features including high ceilings, original moldings and casement windows. The semi-private landing and spacious foyer create a grand entrance. There is an abundance of light from south and north-facing windows. Branching out from the foyer are the public rooms including living room, dining room, library and large eat-in kitchen. These exceptional entertaining spaces are separated from the bedrooms by a hallway, which creates a sense of privacy. The large living room easily accommodates a baby grand piano as well as ample seating. The wood-burning fireplace adds warmth and charm to the room. The living room faces south so it is particularly bright as light streams in through the casement windows. Adjacent to the living room is the library, which also faces south and has details from poet Ogden Nash's days as a resident of the apartment. The dining room has plenty of room for gatherings and seats 12 comfortably. There is an unobstructed view of the Upper East Side. The large kitchen has an adjacent breakfast room and a TV room open to the kitchen that could be transformed into a large pantry. Any cook would find all that is necessary to prepare that meal for 12. Also, the breakfast room is an ideal spot for watching the sun rise over the Upper East Side as there is an enormous window facing northeast. A touch of elegance is added by the long hallway that leads to the three large bedrooms. All three bedrooms come with windowed en-suite bathrooms and very generous closet space. The apartment has a flexible layout. The staff room and accompanying bath could also function as a guest suite or a private fitness room. The library could easily serve as a fourth bedroom. And a very desirable feature is that the apartment has a full size washer and dryer! The 15-story building has 35 apartments and consequently a boutique feel. It was built in 1927 and the lobby was designed by famed interior designer Dorothy Draper. While updated through the years, it has maintained her distinctive sense of style. For shareholders there is a beautifully landscaped private garden as well as a roof top Roman-style terrace with view in all directions. Additional amenities include 24-hour doorman and live-in superintendent, central laundry facilities and a storage unit that conveys with the apartment. In-unit washers and dryers are allowed and pieds-a-terre and pets are welcome. 70% financing is allowed and there is a 3% flip tax. Just a short walk away you will find both Trader Joe's and Whole Foods. And it's a quick bus ride uptown to Upper East Side schools. .
