Description
Perfectly situated in Lenox Hill, with views over Saint Jean Baptiste Church, this seven room apartment in a full-service CONDOMINIUM building offers the best of the Upper East Side. With all major rooms facing south, the nearly 2400 square feet are bathed in light all day long. With just two apartments per floor, a keyed elevator brings you to a semi-private landing. Classically laid out, you step into a formal entryway, and move into the beautifully proportioned, south-facing Living Room with huge windows and 10-foot ceilings. This elegant room is flanked by a formal Dining Room, which offers south and east views, and could easily serve as a Den or be opened to the adjacent Kitchen, should that be desired. On the west side of the Living Room is a wonderfully flexible space, which serves as an Office or Library, but can easily be used as a fourth Bedroom, given its access to the Bedroom Hall and ample closets. This traditional “enfilade” configuration of entertaining rooms gives a wonderful sense of space and traditional floor plan, while the soaring ceiling height and the ability to open multiple rooms provides for a loft-like experience. The Kitchen is outfitted with top-of-the-line appliances, custom cabinetry, a large breakfast area as well as laundry. The public area also features a perfectly-placed half Bath. The private area of this spacious home features a corner Master Bedroom Suite, with sunny views south over the church as well as to the west. The large, windowed marble bath has a double vanity, large shower, soaking tub, and lots of storage. There are two outfitted closets in the suite as well, providing plenty of storage. There are two additional secondary Bedrooms, each with en-suite Bath and large floor-to-ceiling closets. One faces west, and the other shares the same bright and sunny southern exposure as much of the apartment. 145 East 76th Street is a coveted boutique Lenox Hill Condo with only 20 apartments and extensive amenities, including 24/7 staff, fitness center, bike room, laundry room, a private party room with a catering kitchen, and a large landscaped formal garden courtyard. There is a 2% flip tax payable by buyer.
