Experience the perfect blend of luxury, elegance, and modern comforts in this sun-filled, full-floor 6-room condominium located on the Upper East Side’s prestigious “Gold Coast.” Accessed via a private keyed elevator, this residence welcomes you to a private landing and a sophisticated contemporary layout. Originally designed by Schwartz and Gross in 1928, the building has been meticulously reimagined by Jacques Grange and Barry Rice, preserving the iconic pre-war fa ade while transforming the interiors into a stunning haven of luxury.

The nearly 45-foot formal entertaining space faces north, featuring six expansive windows that bathe the room in natural light from the east in the morning and the west in the afternoon, offering tranquil tree-lined views and the warm ambiance of a wood-burning fireplace. The living room seamlessly transitions to a separate dining area through oversized pocket doors, which enhance the home’s grand scale and flow, perfect for both intimate gatherings and larger celebrations.

The windowed, eat-in chef’s kitchen combines sleek style with functionality. It features custom milled cabinetry, a beautiful quartzite island, countertops, and backsplash, and top-of-the-line appliances, including Gaggenau double wall ovens, a Sub-Zero refrigerator and freezer, wine cooler, and a garbage disposal. Oversized pocket doors provide the option for a semi-open or fully separate kitchen experience.

The private residential wing, located at the south-facing side of the home, offers a serene retreat with three generously sized, sun-filled bedrooms, each with its own en-suite bathroom and custom-fitted closets. The oversized primary suite stands out with its picturesque views of a beautiful church through a south-facing Juliet balcony. The expansive, spa-like master bath is luxuriously appointed with Greek marble walls, Italian marble vanities, a Waterworks deep-soaking tub, herringbone marble floors, a glass spa shower, and radiant heat flooring. One of the additional bedrooms also features its own Juliet balcony accessed through elegant French doors.

Additional highlights of this exquisite home include nearly 11-foot ceilings, white oak floors, custom lighting, central air conditioning, a large laundry room, powder room and 43 square feet of dedicated storage space. With a harmonious blend of pre-war charm and modern luxury, this residence offers an unparalleled living experience in the heart of the Upper East Side.
