The perfect 2 Bedroom, 1.5 Bathroom Pre-war apartment. Enter this full-service pre-war co-op from a tree-lined Street entrance just off of Lexington and whisk right up the elevator to your charming oasis on the fifth floor. You will be welcomed by a spacious entry foyer with a coat closet and into the great room which is perfectly proportioned for living, dining and entertaining. Abundant south sun floods the room and showcases the original Pre-war details including herringbone wood floors, high beamed-ceilings and crown molding throughout. The eat-in kitchen is large and has a perfectly positioned window next to the breakfast area. If one prefers a more contemporary style of living the kitchen can be opened up to the Great room with board approval. The Master Bedroom and secondary bedroom both have North exposures towards quaint century old brownstones but also offer plenty of sky and light. Both are connected by a windowed Jack and Jill bathroom, have ample closet space for storage and can fit king sized beds. This home is perfectly laid out in which nearly every square inch is usable square footage. Private Storage is included, pets are welcome and pied-a-terre's allowed. A washer & dryer can be installed with board approval. PS6 school zoning. Built in 1928, this pre-war cooperative has a beautiful lobby, staffed with a full-time doorman, live-in super, new gym, courtyard garden, storage space, laundry room and a bike room. Premium location on a tree lined street, just off Lexington Avenue that is quiet yet convenient to transportation routes as well as fabulous shopping, dining and active lifestyle options such as Eli's Market, Citarella, Antonucci Café, Atlantic Grill, Soul Cycle, Equinox, Central Park and the Metropolitan Museum.
