Far from your typical studio, this exceptional designer-renovated Upper East Side home has been ingeniously arranged to function as two stylish rooms in one. By day, it's a chic and richly appointed living room; by night, it transforms into an elegant bedroom suite. Exquisitely designed with the finest finishes, this lovely showplace includes a large entry foyer with stately columns, new hardwood floors, plus recessed and accent lighting with dimmers. Gorgeous prewar-style crown and baseboard moldings run throughout, giving the entire home the air of an extravagant Park Avenue residence. Granite counters sit atop built-in cabinetry in the living area and in the well-appointed custom kitchen, which also features modern appliances and two large windows. In the main living space, sophisticated mirrored French doors convey, to masterful effect, the illusion of a trompe l'oeil entrance to a grand bedroom suite, but actually conceal a handsomely crafted Murphy bed cleverly hidden behind. Far from a run-of-the-mill wall bed, this fine built-in allows the home's convenient and effortless day-night transformation in high style. The windowed bathroom is lined with lovely custom tilework, and through-the-wall air conditioning provides year-round comfort in this delightful home. The large picture window in the living space provides great light and open city views. Charing Cross House is a full-service, luxury co-op building offering 24-hour doorman service, a stately marble lobby, state-of-the-art 24-hour fitness center, central laundry, bike and storage rooms, and a live-in superintendent. An extraordinary, eco-conscious roof deck garden equipped with Wi-Fi, vertical green walls and multiple seating areas creates a lush oasis for residents and also provides solar panels and rainwater retention. The building permits pets and pied-à-terres, and offers low monthly charges. Please note there is no assessment for this unit: The 14-month assessment for elevator upgrading has been paid in full by the seller. Ideally located on East 72nd Street, one of the premier double-wide residential blocks in the city, a number of world-class boutiques, restaurants, nightlife and cultural destinations sit within easy reach. Enjoy nearby Grace's Marketplace and Citarella for high-quality food shopping, or head to the East River promenade or Central Park for stunning outdoor space and recreation. The new Second Avenue express subway stops right across the street, providing quick and easy access to all points in Manhattan and beyond.
