Coveted High and Bright Two Bedroom Upper East Side Condominium Rental Located in the Lucida, Apartment 11K is in impeccable condition. This approximately 1,448 square foot two bedroom, two bath home boasts wonderfully sunny, southern skyline exposures in every room—with open views extending all the way to the Citibank and Bloomberg buildings.  Designed by Cook + Fox as the first uptown LEED-Certified Green Building, the Lucida was built to include triple-paned windows, fresh air filtration systems, and environmentally-friendly materials throughout. Interiors of the building were designed by S.

Paneled kitchen appliances include a Miele stove, oven, convection oven and dishwasher, as well as a SubZero refrigerator and freezer--and a wine cooler. The kitchen also features a breakfast bar, Ceasarstone countertops, a pot filler—and a stove that is vented to the exterior of the building. The living room was equipped by the current owners with a banquette for dining and some additional built-in storage. This apartment is outfitted with solid hardwood floors and recessed lighting, as well as additional wiring for ceiling fixtures in every room. A five-fixture master bath includes double sinks, a separate shower, a soaking tub, radiant-heated floors, handsome nickel hardware and Waterworks fixtures. A similarly attractive ensuite second bath with a soaking tub can be separated for guest use with a pocket door system. Currently equipped with high-speed internet access, residents of the building will soon be offered the opportunity to upgrade to an ultra-fast gigabit internet connection (~980 Mbps download and upload speed).
