212 East 48th Street, 3-D

Apartment 3D is an elegant rare gem. Upon entering, you will immediately feel the charm and grandeur of a bygone era without compromising any of the modern conveniences on your wish list. This beautiful prewar residence is warm and inviting and truly feels like a home--gracious entry foyer, dramatic high beamed ceilings, gleaming hardwood floors, through-wall a/c, elegant oversized living/dining room with mantled wood-burning fireplace as its centerpiece, huge oversized windows, arched doorways, spacious windowed cook's kitchen, large and well-proportioned rooms including a big bedroom, PLUS an additional room that can be used as a den or home office (currently being used as a child's room) -- makes a great Zoom room! Wonderful layout with windowed bath, and bright and quiet northern exposure faces tree-lined 48th St, where lush green tree tops perfectly frame the historic brownstones and townhouses across the street. A storage unit transfers with the apt for a nominal monthly cost.

Situated on a quiet, picturesque block in the heart of midtown east, 212 East 48th Street is a boutique full-service coop built in 1923.
