305 Second Ave, 344

This beautiful imposing apartment with a large, private terrace (673SF), is one of those magical Architectural Gems - the only one of its kind in the building - located in a significant landmark pre-war condominium with a 24-hour doorman - Rutherford Place - alongside Stuyvesant Square Park where Gramercy meets the East Village to the south. Enter via a grand stairway where a magnificently crafted door welcomes you into the apartment that features soaring, double-height ceilings in the living room with a large open kitchen. This majestic room faces west with a dramatic, rounded wall of windows that set the tone for a decorator's dream canvas. The kitchen is equipped with a Wolf range and a Sub-zero refrigerator. Just off of the living room is a huge, walk-out terrace, perfect for entertaining on a lavish scale! A large, quiet bedroom and bathroom are located on this floor. A stairway leads you upstairs to another large bedroom and laundry. Rutherford Place is a full-service building with a 24-hour doorman, gym, laundry on every floor, on-site valet service, rooftop sun deck, and bike room. This pet-friendly building is conveniently located moments from the best transportation (4/5/6/N/Q/R/W/L all close by), restaurants, and shopping options in Gramercy, Union Square (including the superb fresh foods market), Flatiron, and the East Village. Seldom, if ever, does a home of this architectural significance come to market, truly a collector-quality apartment of distinction, and virtually impossible to replicate. There is a contribution to the condo working capital fund in the amount equal to two months of common charge paid by the purchaser. Owner will provide a 3-year real estate tax abatement.
