Modern elegance meets pre-war charm in this bright and peaceful two-bedroom, two-bath co-op. Entering from the quiet four-door landing, the redesigned 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, bookshelves, and is adjoined by a windowed marble bath. The queen-size 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.
