The Tenth Floor at Claremont House offers 2,430 square feet graciously laid out over a full floor superbly located on 72nd Street between Park and Madison Avenues. One of only 15 apartments in this lovely brick-clad boutique condominium-- The Tenth Floor is reached off a private elevator landing leading to a spacious octagonal foyer with professionally lighted art niches- a sophisticated and elegant welcome to this beautiful apartment with flexible layout. Off the foyer are entrances to the living room, the dining room, the bedroom suites and the powder room. The spacious living room has three large windows facing 72nd Street, handsome wooden book shelves and a beautiful polished oak floor. Connecting the living room and the bedroom hallway is a cozy library with beautiful English pine bookshelves and paneling and two windows overlooking 72nd Street. Although located only steps from Museum Mile in the highly desirable heart of the Upper East Side's most exclusive dining and boutique shopping district, The Tenth Floor is a quiet and restful aerie located on a high floor and further benefitting from double-thickness noise-abating windows. The dining room which is accessed off the foyer can easily seat 14 for dinner. Like the living room, it has a lovely polished oak floor and opens onto a charming, planted 60 square foot balcony. Walk through the far side of the dining room to a very spacious and cheerful breakfast area and office which gives onto the same outdoor space as the dining room, a beautifully appointed kitchen and an additional bedroom and bathroom ideal for all manner of uses. The storage throughout this wing of the house is particularly abundant and very well-designed so as to discreetly accommodate all sorts of paperwork, dishware, suitcases, office equipment, out-of-season clothing and pantry items. Off the foyer is a bedroom hallway that leads to both the primary bedroom and bath and a guest/second bedroom and bath. The primary bedroom is large and quiet with abundant and thoughtfully conceived closet space--including a large walk-in closet. Two sinks, a shower, an inviting soaking tub and a wonderful towel-warmer are arrayed across a large primary bath. The guest/second bedroom faces East 72nd Street and also has unusually generous yet discreet storage and closet space and a lovely en suite bathroom. The Tenth Floor at Claremont House currently offers a gracious, traditional layout with a perfect floor plan for entertaining as well as open, inviting spaces for relaxing. The office space on the south side of the house is ideal for working from home or simply keeping up with personal business. The apartment's floor plan is very flexible: there are many ways to utilize the home's spacious breakfast area/office or its library as "swing space" to create a fourth bedroom and bathroom.
