About This Property
Classic in every way, this gracious 8th floor Two Bedroom, One and a half Bath apartment in a boutique prewar cooperative is an authentic modernized home. Apartment 8B offers exceptional space, light, and prewar charm featuring beautifully finished hardwood floors, 9.5-ft ceilings, and unobstructed south, east and western exposures.
A generously sized foyer with a large built-in closet welcomes you into a sun-filled living room which includes a wood-burning fireplace and lovely southern views of the Manhattan skyline. Adjacent to the living room, there is a formal dining room which offers ample built-in storage and flexible living options including the potential to convert the space into a third bedroom.
The open kitchen is equipped with a Viking Stove and overhead hooded Vent, Fischer Paykel Refridgerator, Thermadore microwave, abundant marble counter space, custom cabinets and in-unit Miele washer/dryer.
There is a lovely windowed powder room off of the kitchen boasting vintage Hermes wall paper adding an elegant surprise. There is an additional room off of the kitchen with a window facing East currently shown as an office but was originally a staff room, and can be used for many variations.
The private bedroom wing features two oversized bedrooms with excellent closet space.
The large primary suite enjoys southern exposures, a wall of fully built-in closets and an en-suite bath which includes a large soaking tub, 2 windows and radiant heated floors.
The spacious second bedroom also benefits from southern light and unobstructed views.
There are new windows in all of the rooms and central air throughout the apartment, which is a rare find in a prewar co-op.
With tremendous scale, a superb footprint, and timeless architectural details, this home presents a rare opportunity for elevated pre-war comfort.

Agent's Note
From Curtis Bain. Details about the apartment are drawn from the listing information provided through RLS by Corcoran Group.
The open kitchen is the main design choice here, and it has a clear gain and a clear cost. The Viking stove, the Fischer Paykel refrigerator and the Thermador microwave sit in one room with custom cabinets and abundant marble counter space, so the person cooking stays part of the conversation. The cost is less separation between cooking, working and relaxing, which matters if you host often or want the kitchen out of sight.
The living room faces south and has a wood-burning fireplace with southern views of the Manhattan skyline. A south-facing window gets direct sun from 7:41 AM to 4:07 PM on December 21, and from 9:55 AM to 4:01 PM on June 21. Those are open-horizon figures, and nearby buildings can block them, so it's worth seeing the room in the afternoon before you decide.
Two bedrooms sit in the private wing. The primary suite is the room I'd look at first. It faces south and has a wall of built-in closets, plus an en-suite bath with a large soaking tub, two windows and radiant heated floors. The second bedroom also gets southern light, and the formal dining room has built-in storage and could become a third bedroom.
Laundry is handled at home with an in-unit Miele washer and dryer.
The building is a 1923 prewar structure in the Upper East Side Historic District Extension, with nine stories and 36 units. It's a full-service elevator cooperative with a live-in resident manager, common laundry, a roof deck and private storage, and a storage cage transfers with the apartment. Pets are allowed.
Lexington Avenue and 63rd Street station, served by the M and Q trains, is about 1 minute on foot. Central Park is about 7 minutes away, and Morton Williams supermarket is about 3 minutes away.
