About This Property

Set on the 16th floor of Continental Towers, this renovated, move-in-ready corner residence offers approximately 1,000 square feet, two bedrooms, two bathrooms and a west-facing private balcony on the Upper East Side. Two-bedroom homes with outdoor space rarely come to market in the building, and this one adds an in-unit washer/dryer, a split-bedroom layout and natural light from the west and north.

The entry foyer, with a coat closet, opens to a 26-foot living and dining room that runs west to the balcony and city views beyond. Custom wall moldings and designer sconces add architectural detail, and Brazilian Cumaru hardwood floors continue throughout the home. Just off the living area, the windowed kitchen is fitted with stainless steel appliances, a dishwasher, a wine refrigerator and granite countertops, with ample counter space.

The bedrooms sit at opposite ends of the home. The king-size primary suite occupies its own wing, with a fully outfitted custom walk-in closet, a dedicated workspace and an ensuite bathroom with a walk-in shower and built-in bench. On the other side, the second bedroom carries the wall moldings and city views through and has its own custom closet. Beside it, the windowed second bathroom includes a bathtub, a linen closet and a European-inspired vanity with a porcelain top and chrome legs.

Continental Towers is a well-run, full-service condominium with a live-in superintendent, a 24-hour doorman and concierge, and a fitness center reserved for residents. Additional amenities include an on-site parking garage, a lobby-level laundry room and a landscaped roof deck.

A Whole Foods Market is expected to open on the building's ground floor. Shopping, dining, parks and museums are close by, and the Second Avenue subway's Q train stops at 72nd and 86th Streets.

Real Estate Tax: Estimated at $1,130 for an owner-occupant with the NYC Co-op/Condo Abatement.
