The adjoining dining room is enhanced by custom built in cabinetry, a bar, and marble flooring, an ideal setting for hosting. The king-sized primary bedroom enjoys abundant natural light and a spacious layout that easily accommodates full bedroom furnishings. Its ensuite marble bathroom, walk in closet, and additional closet create a serene, sanctuary like retreat.

Agent's Note
From Curtis Bain. Details about the apartment are drawn from the listing information provided through RLS by Douglas Elliman Real Estate.
A gas range, a large refrigerator, a dishwasher and a microwave are already in the renovated eat-in kitchen, which has white cabinetry and granite counters. The monthly maintenance covers central air, heat, water and electricity, so a good part of the day-to-day running of the home is built into the charge.
The living room has floor to ceiling glass and opens directly onto the private terrace, which is over 60 square feet. It's a second place to sit outdoors, right next to where people will gather.
The dining room has custom built-in cabinetry, a bar and marble flooring. I think that makes it a practical setup for hosting, since the bar and built-ins handle serving and storage. The king-size primary bedroom has its own marble bathroom and a walk-in closet, plus an additional closet. The second bedroom has built-in cabinetry and a walk-in closet, and it can work as a guest room, den or home office.
A corner residence can add exposure and a more varied outlook, though what each room gets depends on how it faces and the buildings around it. You won't know until you see the rooms at different times of day.
This is an elevator cooperative with 38 stories and 629 units, built in 1969. Staff include 24-hour lobby attendants and 24-hour security. There's also a staffed concierge and mail desk, and the superintendent and assistant superintendent live in the building. Shared spaces include an indoor pool, a roof deck and a courtyard, and dogs are allowed.
The Lexington Avenue and 59th Street station, with the 4, 5, 6, N, R and W trains, is about 11 minutes on foot. The Lexington Avenue and 53rd Street station, with the 6, E and F trains, is about 8 minutes away. East River Walk is about 4 minutes, and the Morton Williams supermarket is about 1 minute on foot.
