Elegant Pre-War Ѕtudiο Lοcаtеd јust one and a hаlf blοсkѕ from thе Metropolitan Museum of Art and Central Park, this boutique cooperative offers the refinement of a bygone era amid the conveniences of modern city living. With only twenty-two residences and remarkably low maintenance, it is ideally suited as a primary residence or an elegant pied-à-terre. Twelve-foot ceilings crown the space, while hardwood floors, period moldings, and a ceiling medallion lend both character and quiet grandeur. At the heart of the room, a decorative fireplace draws the eye with a sense of visual balance. The scale of the windows and ceiling height creates a dramatic and harmonious composition. The windowed kitchen overlooks a serene courtyard garden, where southern light drifts in gently throughout the day. The bathroom, too, is windowed and well-considered, with tiled floors, a spa-like shower, and ample storage providing both comfort and practicality. (washer and dryer is permitted) Residents benefit from a close relationship with the adjacent sister building at 970 Park Avenue, which provides 24-hour staff for security, packages, and maintenance. Additional amenities include shared laundry facilities and a storage room. Pied-à-terres and pets are welcomed, and subletting is allowed after one year of residence. Constructed in 1912 of red brick and limestone, the building was originally comprised of three townhouses. These were seamlessly joined in 1988 to create the current low-rise structure, offering just four apartments per floor and a rare sense of privacy in the heart of the Upper Eastside. A residence of quiet dignity and enduring charm.
