955 Lexington Ave #11A, New York City, NY 10021

Description

High above Lexington Avenue on the 11th floor, this handsome and distinctive A-line residence offers the best of both worlds: an exceptionally convenient Upper East Side location close to public transportation, shopping, a multitude of new and exciting restaurants and neighborhood favorites, yet once inside, the apartment feels like a quiet oasis removed from the energy of the city. Unobstructed western views over historic townhouses bring wonderful afternoon light into the home.

The sun-filled living room and bedroom are connected by beautiful paneled cherry wood folding doors, allowing the rooms to flow together for gracious entertaining or close for privacy. At the heart of the bedroom is a magnificent Neoclassical marble wood-burning fireplace-a rare and particularly special feature that gives the room extraordinary character and charm. The bedroom also includes an en-suite bath.

The generously proportioned kitchen is equipped with top-of-the-line appliances, custom cabinetry and a washer/dryer. Pietra Cardosa stone flooring and rich custom cherry wood millwork continue throughout the apartment, including a thoughtfully designed built-in desk that creates an ideal home office.

Designed by Rouse & Goldstone in 1924, 955 Lexington Avenue is an elegant prewar cooperative combining architectural character with full-service living. The building offers a full-time doorman, manually operated elevator, live-in resident manager, landscaped roof deck and private storage that transfers with the apartment. Pets and pieds-à-terre are welcome, and 65% financing is permitted. The flip tax is 2%.
