Property Description for 196 East 75th Street, 12-AB

Move right in to this newly renovated and impeccably maintained sprawling three bedroom, two- and one-half bath home with windowed kitchen, formal dining, and media room/den, in a beloved full-service co-op west of Third Avenue.

A formal entry gallery greets you upon arrival and leads to a vast 30-foot living room with elegant recessed soffit lighting and city views that flows graciously into the open, sun filled renovated kitchen and formal dining room. These three distinct spaces together create the ideal environment for friendly, open concept living, timelessly and classically designed for today.

The bright southern facing windowed kitchen with new white solid wood custom cabinetry, quartz counters, Sub-Zero and Viking appliances provides acres of counter space and storage for all the home chef's needs. The formal dining room which comfortably seats 10 for dinner has been opened to the kitchen to create a cheerful and distinguished environment for special gatherings and causal meals at home. Custom millwork in the dining room displays your fine porcelain and crystal and contains a new Sub-Zero wine fridge. A discreet powder room for guests is the ideal completion of the public rooms of this beautiful home.

The king-sized master suite features handsome custom millwork for excellent storage, city views, recessed lighting, an oversized walk-in fully built closet, and a stunning newly renovated en-suite windowed bathroom with double vanity, large step-in shower, two medicine cabinets, clad in white marble with polished nickel fixtures and abundant storage.

Crossing the gallery brings you to the ancillary bedroom wing of the apartment with a walk-in coat and household closet, a full, newly renovated bath with tub, and two large bedrooms each with ample room for queen size beds, bunks, workstations and the larger of the two features a window facing seamlessly designed desk- for the student or work-from-home professional to spread out in comfort and style. The piece de resistance of this segment of the home is the media room/family room for relaxing, and fun.

This mint-condition, spacious home features such highlights as individually thermostat-controlled HVAC units for year-round comfort, solid, wide plank walnut stained floors, classic molding and baseboard trim, custom lighting and a layout that provides the ideal separation of primary bedroom, entertaining, and secondary bedroom wings.

196 East 75th Street is located on the southwest corner of 75th Street and Third Avenue- surrounded by every conceivable convenience and service for shopping (Citarella across the street, Sables one block north), dining (JG Mellon, Orsay, T-Bar), recreation, the Q and 6 subway lines, and close to highly rated public and private schools. Staffed by a full-time doorman, and a resident building manager, this well-maintained co-operative offers the flexibility of 75% financing, is pet friendly, and offers bike storage and a newly renovated gym. In-unit washer/dryers may be installed upon approval.

Upper East Side | Manhattan

Quick Profile

Exuding a cosmopolitan, refined air that is reminiscent of Paris or other European cities, the Upper East Side (the UES, to local cognoscenti) has a reputation as being a bastion of wealth and privilege. Even though it was built by American “royalty” families like the Vanderbilts, Roosevelts, Kennedys, Carnegies and Rockefellers, whose elaborate mansions once anchored Fifth Avenue, there are affordable housing options throughout the neighborhood. The further east you move, away from Central Park and the more commercial avenues, the more likely you are to find quiet, tree-lined streets with historic townhouses and brownstones. Keep your eye out for reasonably priced apartments in pre-war low-rise and even a few high-rise buildings.

With abundant, beautifully landscaped green spaces, including the oasis of Central Park acting like a backyard, the area is quiet and lushly green. You can relax and unwind in John Jay Park, Carl Schurz Park or take a stroll along the East River Promenade. The whole neighborhood seems isolated from the workaday chaos of the city at large. Add to that the history of the neighborhood and the abundance of cultural institutions, and you have a uniquely welcoming neighborhood.

Known for its abundance of high-end retail shopping, especially on Madison Avenue, the Upper East Side is host to the Barneys New York flagship department store. Here you can find upscale goods, fashion and home decor items. You will also find the edgy runway-inspired Alexander McQueen collections. If you are dying to treat your feet to red-soled opulence, be sure to visit the Christian Louboutin boutique. These are only a small sampling of this high-end shopper’s paradise that features everything from designer boutiques that offer the ultimate in haute couture to resale shops where you can find last season’s best on sale at hefty discounts .

There are many unique dining experiences, from fine dining to the casual bite-on-the-go, awaiting you in the UES. Sushi is going through a renaissance in the city, and the best omakase-style sushi can be found at Sasabune on E 73rd Street. Omakase sushi means that you leave the choice of ingredients, preparation method and presentation to the chef. Elegant French cuisine can be experienced at JoJo, E 64th Street, housed in gorgeous townhouse. Just for fun, visit the Lexington Candy Shop on Lexington Avenue, to get a taste of an old-fashioned soda fountain.
