Modern elegance meets pre-war charm in this bright and peaceful two-bedroom, two-bath co-op. Entering from the quiet 4-door landing, the re-designed foyer welcomes you into the spacious living room and dining area featuring beamed ceilings in excess of nine feet, restored original oak wood floors and generous built-ins providing wonderful character while central air conditioning offers cool comfort. The well-appointed and windowed cook’s kitchen provides an abundance of beautiful counter space and storage, top-of-the-line appliances including a Sub-Zero refrigerator, a pantry and a service entrance.

The master bedroom suite is an inviting oasis with generous built-in closets, additional storage and bookshelves and is adjoined by a windowed marble bath. The queen sized second bedroom also offers built-in shelves and a desk area. The living room and bedrooms feature bright southern exposures with perfectly positioned tree-line views.

Developed in 1928, this well-established co-op sits in proximity to Lexington Avenue and Central Park on a wide, attractive block and is close to all transportation. With a full-time doorman and super in residence, the co-op requires 25% down, permits pied-a-terre ownership, and shareholders may have a dog of up to 40 lbs.
