About This Property
“A thing of beauty is a joy forever.” — Keats
Bright, beautifully conceived and thoughtfully designed, this jumbo, high-floor home has the light, proportion and flexibility that lend themselves to easy living.
The open kitchen is both handsome and functional, featuring a Sub-Zero refrigerator, Bertazzoni range, stainless steel dishwasher, wood cabinetry, marble countertops and exposed brick. At its center is a generous breakfast bar that becomes part of the home's rhythm: coffee in the morning, preparing dinner, a quick bite, or friends pulling up a stool while you cook. It’s a kitchen designed not just to look good, but to actually be lived in.
It opens directly into an oversized living room framed by a wall of windows, with plenty of room for a proper dining table, a generous living area and the kind of entertaining that starts with dinner and a glass of red and somehow goes much later.
There is also more than enough space to create a comfortable work-from-home setup without sacrificing the room itself.
Tucked quietly in the back of the apartment, the bedroom enjoys open views and multiple exposures. Just off the bedroom, a space currently set up as a nursery gives the apartment unusual flexibility. Keep it as a nursery, turn it into a home office, or create the large walk-in dressing room you’ve always wanted.
The smartly appointed bathroom is finished in floor-to-ceiling white marble with Kohler fixtures. Hardwood plank floors, custom closets and smart built-ins complete the home. Washer/dryers are permitted with board approval.
What makes 16H special isn’t any one feature. It’s how well everything works together: the size, the layout, the finishes, the functionality, the views and enough space to work, host, cook, unwind and actually live.
East View House is a full-service Upper East Side cooperative with exceptional staff, including a 24-hour doorman and live-in resident manager. The building also has a garage and is conveniently located one block from the Second Avenue Subway, with additional subway options nearby. Whether you’re heading downtown, across town or just about anywhere else in the city, getting around is remarkably easy. Some photos are virtually staged for illustrative purposes.
Pied-à-terres are ok, up to 75% financing allowed and dogs under 25 lbs. are permitted.
There is a capital assessment of 548.06 through 2027
Agent's Note
From Curtis Bain. Details about the apartment are drawn from the listing information provided through RLS by Compass.
The kitchen opens directly into an oversized living room, and the bedroom sits at the back of the apartment, so sleeping space stays apart from the main room. A breakfast bar at the center of the kitchen gives you somewhere to eat or talk while someone cooks, so the kitchen works as part of the living space rather than a separate room.
The living room is framed by a wall of windows and has room for a proper dining table alongside a generous seating area, which suits both ordinary evenings and longer dinners. There's also enough space to set up a work-from-home corner without giving up the room itself.
Off the bedroom, a room that could serve as an office, a guest room or a walk-in dressing room gives the apartment more flexibility than a single bedroom usually offers. The bedroom has open views, and the listing notes multiple exposures.
The bathroom is finished in white marble from floor to ceiling with Kohler fixtures. Hardwood plank floors run through the home, and custom closets and smart built-ins help keep the rooms clear of freestanding furniture. The kitchen includes a Sub-Zero refrigerator, a Bertazzoni range and a stainless steel dishwasher, with marble countertops and exposed brick.
This is a 1961 elevator cooperative with 165 residences, a bike room, storage space, garage parking and laundry in the building. Cats and dogs are allowed, with dogs under 25 lbs. Washer/dryers are permitted with board approval. The 72 St station on the Q is about 4 minutes on foot, and St. Catherine's Park is about 6 minutes away.
