Property Description for 901 Lexington Ave, 8-N

LISTING TEMPORARILY OFF MARKE UNTIL SEPT 3
This gracious and thoughtfully laid out 8-room residence offers unparalleled value rarely found in the highly coveted Lenox Hill neighborhood of Manhattan's Upper East Side. Featuring original prewar details throughout including high beamed ceilings, crown moldings, oversized picture windows, beautifully preserved hardwood floors and most notably four wood burning fireplaces this apartment is truly a rare commodity on the market today.

Entering through an elegant Foyer with an accompanying Powder Room, one passes through to a grandly proportioned Living & Dining Room with sunny South & West exposures anchored by a wood burning fireplace flanked by custom shelving. The Great Room opens into a Library, which in earlier iterations served as a Formal Dining Room, featuring yet another wood burning fireplace and extensive shelving throughout. From the entertaining wing of the apartment, one accesses the bedroom wing through a long hallway separating the Primary Suite from the secondary Bedrooms lined with extensive closets and built in-storage.

The Primary Suite is truly one of the apartment's standout features, which could be described as an apartment unto itself within this spacious home. With an oversized Bedroom and the home's third wood burning fireplace, it truly is a cozy sanctuary. Within the Primary Suite is a Home Office leading to a large custom-outfitted Dressing Room and a luxurious marble clad European Bathroom with a deep soaking tub. From the Bedroom Wing's hallway are two further Bedrooms with a shared Bathroom. One of these two bedrooms includes the apartment's fourth wood burning fireplace and each room is outfitted with custom built-in cabinetry, workspaces and storage.

The apartment's service wing, which can be entered both from the Foyer and bedroom wing, includes a massive Eat-In-Chef's Kitchen, Pantry, Mud Room, Laundry Room as well as Fourth Bedroom and a full Bathroom. With abundant storage options, this truly is an exceptional space affording countless opportunities.

Built in 1907, 901 Lexington Avenue was designed by esteemed architect George Mort Pollard. With just two apartments per floor, this 17 unit Cooperative is staffed with a 24-hour Door/ Elevator Attendant as well as a Resident Superintendent. There is a Bike Room, Gym and Private Storage allocated to the apartment as well as a common Laundry Room supplementing the apartment's own in-unit laundry. Located only a stone's throw from Central Park and some of the city's finest dining and shopping, it also affords exceptionally convenient proximity to both the 6 subway line and crosstown transportation. Additionally the building is pet friendly. 50% financing is permitted. A "Flip Tax" of 3% is paid by the purchaser.

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.
