Magnificent 4 Bedroom Duplex with Enormous Wrap-Around Terrace – A Private Indoor/Outdoor Oasis

Brownstone living with all the conveniences of a white-gloved apartment building, this duplex home in the sky offers stunning outdoor space and open views and is perfectly positioned high atop 72nd Street in the acclaimed Eastgate Cooperative. With two separate and distinct spaces – one floor dedicated to four bedrooms and three baths and the other an entertainer’s paradise with floor to ceiling French doors off of the living room and kitchen leading to a large 500 sqft terrace with unobstructed views facing south, north and east. Apartment 18C can accurately be described as a very special home.

The full profile begins in an elegant foyer that opens into a large, loft-like living space. The open, double-sized living-dining room is bathed in light from ten full height French doors which wrap around the living room and kitchen. The fully exposed planted terrace is an outdoor retreat accommodating entertainment possibilities for every occasion and size. The terrace is currently outfitted with a dining table and chairs, couches for lounging, as well as two automatic retractable awnings. Back inside, a custom designed, modern kitchen features high-end, stainless steel appliances plus wine refrigerator. It has been thoughtfully conceived and incorporated for either outdoor service or more conventional indoor experience. Exceptional for entertaining, this floor also boasts a generously sized second living room and a full bathroom.

From a beautiful wooden staircase, descend to the private chambers. There is a well-proportioned, sunlit master bedroom with a view to the south. Off the master, there is a lovely marble bath and two walk-in closets. Two additional generously sized bedrooms, a child’s room or study; and two more baths and laundry room plus large storage closet reveal themselves on this level. Modern updates throughout include a six-zone Niles surround speaker sound system, new waterworks fixtures and lights, and a washer and dryer. Elegant prewar details include beamed ceilings, crown molding, and hardwood floors.
