40 East 62nd St. 9E

Perfectly Located 7 Room Condo in Mint Condition

Step from a manned elevator onto a semi-private landing and enter a quiet retreat from the city. This prewar apartment has been gut renovated, is located on a high floor and is spacious and well-appointed.

The bright double living room and formal dining room have a loft-like quality with two enormous, double paned windows overlooking East 62nd Street and a second exposure east. The rich, wide-plank cherry floors, broad crown and baseboard moldings, wood burning fireplace, high ceilings, custom bookshelves and storage create a serene, comfortable environment. The lovely floors continue into the sunny, windowed kitchen where you find fine, millwork cabinets, some with glass fronts, granite counter tops, a charming apron front sink and coved ceiling. The appliances are all top of the line; SubZero refrigerator, Miele washer, dryer and dishwasher, Viking six burner range and oven and a Venezia exhaust hood. Just off the public rooms is a windowed powder room with pedestal sink. The staff room may be used for just that or is perfectly suited as an office or nursery. The bedroom wing is well removed from the rest of the apartment. The first east facing bedroom has a beautifully appointed, spacious bath en suite. The second bedroom may access this bath from another door. The master bedroom has the morning and mid day sun with an east and south exposure, plentiful closet and storage space and a windowed bath. One can also use the second bedroom as a sitting room to further enhance its charms. The apartment has central air conditioning and Baldwin brass hardware throughout. Additionally, there is a windowed 8′ × 9′ room one flight up from the apartment that may be used for storage.

Built in 1912 this exquisite boutique building has eleven residential units, doorman/elevator man and superintendent. Minimum lease of one year. The apartment is available furnished at $17,000 per month.
