Welcome to this quiet, rear-facing duplex oasis tucked away in the vibrant heart of the Upper East Side. Offering a distinct separation of space across two full levels, Apartment #5 perfectly blends timeless New York City character with the modern conveniences you've been searching for, including a rare in-unit washer/dryer and an incredible abundance of custom storage.
As you enter this third-floor walk-up, you are immediately greeted by hardwood floors, classic exposed brick, and bright, natural light that fills the space. The thoughtful layout ensures your living and sleeping areas remain completely private from one another.
The lower level features a generously proportioned, open living and dining area with plenty of square footage to easily accommodate a full-sized sectional, an entertainment center, and a complete dining setup. Adjacent to the living space is a functional galley kitchen equipped with a dishwasher, an in-sink disposal, and generous cabinet storage. Tucked away under the stairs, you'll find clever hidden storage maximizing every inch of the home.
Ascend the staircase to a massive sleeping level that feels like a true sanctuary. This expansive room comfortably fits a king bed, dresser, and a dedicated home office desk setup. Storage is an absolute standout up here, featuring two floor-to-ceiling oversized wardrobes, a full-length mirror, and an additional double-door closet. The updated, windowed bathroom houses your full-sized, in-unit washer and dryer: a true luxury for the neighborhood.
Apartment Highlights:
- True duplex with separate living and sleeping floors.
- In-unit, full-sized washer/dryer, dishwasher, and garbage disposal.
- Exposed brick, hardwood floors, generous overhead lighting, and dedicated A/C units on both levels.
- Secure video intercom system with camera entry.
Situated in a classic NYC co-op building on East 78th Street, you are positioned to enjoy the very best of Upper East Side living. Ample transit access with the Q train and 4/5/6 lines just blocks away, plus express buses on 1st & 2nd Avenues and the 79th Street crosstown bus right around the corner. Spend time exploring the scenic East River promenade at Carl Schurz Park or heading west to Central Park. Surrounded by the neighborhood's finest cafes, restaurants, grocery stores, and boutique shopping.
