Once off your private elevator landing you are met by a large oak door which opens to the foyer, leading way to an exquisite, sun-splashed living room with soaring ceilings. Oak floors and beautiful crown molding usher you into the main room where intimate banquette seating can be found perfectly situated across oversized south facing windows providing golden illumination throughout the day.
Adjacent and privately tucked behind a swinging door is a windowed eat-in kitchen surrounded by endless cabinet space, charming original details and an oversized closet which houses a washer and dryer.
On the opposite end of the home, down the wide hallway is the private bedroom wing. Flooded with natural light, the over-sized primary bedroom offers a wall of custom cabinets accented by antique distressed mirrors as well as a walk-in closet and an additional large closet. The master en-suite bathroom offers detailed mosaic flooring and a glass enclosed windowed marble shower with seating. The second bedroom feels equally as private with ensuite bath, walk-in closet and encircled by bay windows with unobstructed west facing views through original curved windows. The home also features additional large closets throughout.

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.
