** 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.
