1065 Lexington Ave, 3-B

First showings this Sunday 12 to 1:30pm by appointment only. Bienvenue chez vous! Ideally located between 75th and 76th Streets, this beautifully appointed, oversized Classic Six (approximately 1,600 square feet) brings the effortless charm of a chic Parisian flat to the Upper East Side, with all the character and architectural detail of a quintessential prewar residence. Apartment 3B feels like a private home rather than an apartment: the elevator opens onto a semi-private landing, which leads into a gracious gallery foyer and an open, loft-like entertaining space that brings a bit of downtown uptown, with a beautifully proportioned living room and separate formal dining area. Original prewar details abound, including a decorative fireplace with original mantel, handsome paneling, intricate dentil moldings, solid wood original doors, and 9'3" beamed ceilings. Custom built-in bookcases provide the perfect backdrop for an artful collection of books, objects, and treasures. Large windows overlook a quiet, private courtyard to the east, with northern windows framing the magnificent stained-glass windows of the landmarked St. Jean Baptiste Church, an only-in-New-York view. Set within the back of the building, the apartment is remarkably quiet. Gleaming hardwood floors run throughout. The windowed kitchen is highly functional and designed for the chef of the house, with a Sub-Zero refrigerator, KitchenAid range and dishwasher, newly refinished cabinetry, and an eat-in bar with ample room for cooking and gathering. The corner primary bedroom is a true retreat, comfortably accommodating a king-size bed along with additional furnishings. Two generous closets outfitted by Closet Factory provide exceptional storage, and the windowed en-suite bath was just fully renovated with no detail spared. The second bedroom is equally generous, measuring nearly 16' x 11', and is served by a recently refreshed, windowed hall bath with a tub. The third bedroom works equally well as a home office. Additional highlights include a brand-new washer and dryer vented to the exterior, automated window shades from The Shade Store in the primary bedroom, generous room sizes, a flowing layout, and abundant closet space. Each successive owner has lovingly cared for and modernized the home. 1065 Lexington Avenue is a boutique, full-service prewar cooperative with just 25 residences, a 24-hour doorman, live-in superintendent, and newly renovated gym off the lobby. The building sits between Orsay, featured in the Michelin Guide, and St. Jean Baptiste Church, a block from the 6 train at 77th Street. Nearby favorites include J.G. Melon, Butterfield Market, and the new Eataly Caffè, along with an ever-growing collection of restaurants, cafés, boutiques, and gourmet markets. Pets permitted; pieds-à-terre permitted with board approval. 2.5% flip tax paid by purchaser. Ongoing monthly assessment of $1,627 for Local Law 11 facade work and related repairs, expected to end in early 2027.
