About this House

What's unique:Exposed brickThree-bedroom two-full-bath apartmentOriginal brass hardwareThoughtful renovationsAbundant windowsNumerous dog runs nearby
ARTIST INSPIRED SUN-DRENCHED 3-BEDROOM, 2-BATH WALK-UP WITH FOUR EXPOSURES, IN-UNIT
LAUNDRY & JOHN JAY PARK AT YOUR DOORSTEP
Rarely do you find a three-bedroom, two-full-bath apartment with North, South, East and West exposures,
abundant windows, thoughtful renovations, in-unit laundry, and a wonderfully flexible layout—all in one of
the Upper East Side’s most vibrant and old-school neighborhood-y parts of town.
The apartment has been lovingly updated while retaining its character and practicality. All double- and
triple-hung windows were replaced in 2013, and a Type 2 alteration was completed and filed with the City in
2007.
The large windowed eat-in kitchen is designed for real life, with a generous island topped in reclaimed
wood from Olde Good Things, comfortable seating, abundant storage drawers, dishwasher, and a French-door refrigerator with bottom freezer. A built-in kitchen desk/command center creates a handy spot for
homework, household organization, or working from home. The original brass hardware and Cherokee
“window stick” remain, making the high window easy to operate.
The expansive living and dining great room is the heart of the home, with three dramatic floor-to-ceiling
triple-hung windows, exposed brick, built-in shelving crafted from excess wood from the 2013 window
replacement, and a double closet for media equipment or additional storage. There is plenty of space for a
large dining table as well as multiple seating areas.
The split-bedroom layout offers excellent separation, storage, and flexibility, boasting tons of light and air.
The south-facing primary bedroom is filled with light through two triple-hung windows and features two
closets, including one generously sized closet, a built-in desk area created from a former third closet, and
three additional overhead storage compartments—ideal for off-season clothing and belongings.
The second south-facing bedroom is bright and peaceful, with a triple-hung window and a deep, tall closet.
Across the apartment, the third bedroom offers a more private retreat with east-facing light, a walk-in
closet, built-in desk, cabinet and shelving, plus a double-hung window. It also has its own en-suite full
bathroom, complete with Duravit sink, heated towel warmer, and a windowed shower
The front full bathroom features a deep cast-iron soaking tub, vanity, sink, and toilet.
A dedicated laundry closet houses a front-loading washer and vented dryer, fully approved for use by the
co-op.
The building has 24-hour staff, a resident superintendent, and an overnight security guard who patrols
the property and is available for late-night emergencies and lockouts. The building is pet-friendly with
numerous dog runs nearby. Additional amenities include a basement laundry facility, secure package room,
storage cages, and a free bike room. Storage rooms are currently $27.80/month. (Possible WL)
This is an exceptionally convenient and livable corner of the Upper East Side, with John Jay Park essentially
downstairs. The park offers a playground, tot lot, tennis, pickleball, basketball and handball courts, plus
summer movie programming and a beautiful seasonal outdoor pool with free swimming lessons for
children.
Carl Schurz Park is approximately a ten-minute walk away, with playgrounds, pickleball, large and small
dog runs, and a full calendar of neighborhood programming, from art fairs and Halloween events to holiday
tree lighting and summer concerts.
Shareholders will appreciate the proximity to some of Manhattan’s most sought-after schools, including PS 158,
The Chapin School, Brearley, Ramaz, The Town School, Allen-Stevenson and Eleanor Roosevelt High
School, with many other public and private schools within a short distance.
Daily conveniences are wonderfully close. Within a block are the Webster Public Library and its Book
Cellar used bookstore, the US Post Office, delis, dry cleaners, nail salons, pizza, Chinese and sushi
restaurants, Italian food, and more!
