The Charles House Condo
(Corner Of Madison Avenue)

SUMMARY: Very rarely available in the luxurious yet tastefully understated Charles House Condominium, this spacious true one bedroom with a foyer and additional dining area is situated just one block from Central Park in one of the Upper East Side’s most desirable locations. The generous open plan welcomes with a lovely entry foyer, then flows seamlessly through the ample living room to a separate dining area, providing endless flexibility for entertaining, a home office space or even a nursery. Enjoy direct sunlight all morning through midday from the open Eastern sky views, through the wall to wall windows lining every room. Wind down the day and then sleep soundly through the night in the robust sized bedroom measuring 18 feet long, nested in the peace and quiet of this inner facing haven. The airy, walk-through kitchen is fully equipped, including a dishwasher, double wall oven and plenty of cabinet space, and the bright, tiled bathroom is complete with a tub. Storage space abounds with five huge closets, including a walk-in bedroom closet and deep kitchen pantry. Relax in the panoramic open cityscape of the private roof garden deck and let the friendly 24 hour front desk concierge staff see to your day to day comfort. Whether you’re exercising in the impeccably clean fitness center, parking your car in building’s connected garage or taking advantage of the on site laundry facilities, no convenience is spared. Sorry, no pets.
