Why It’s So Popular

In New York City, a classic pre-war apartment never goes out of style. This one, located on the ninth floor of a ten-story building in Lenox Hill, combines a simple, spacious layout with oh-so-desirable pre-war details like archways and distinctive window designs. The co-op is a 2-bedroom, 2-bathroom with plenty of natural light that fills every room and multiple exposures that overlook the surrounding neighborhood.

Sunken living rooms are a rare find but this home has one. The space is accessed by an elegant set of stairs and offers double-height ceilings, hardwood floors, and a massive window. Its centerpiece is a wood-burning fireplace with an eye-catching hearth — the ultimate luxury as winter creeps in.

On the main level, the windowed kitchen has been updated with an integrated refrigerator and classic white cabinetry, along with a washer and dryer. The primary bedroom is an en-suite and includes a deep soaking tub in the bathroom and a stunning stained glass window. The second bedroom is configured as a home office but can easily be converted back. 

Another perk: this prewar pad had central air conditioning and the building is pet friendly. There is a full-time doorman on hand and additional storage space, in case the apartment’s three sizable closets aren’t enough. Central Park is located just two blocks away, as is the 77th Street subway station along the 6 line.
