Description

Experience timeless Upper East Side living in this sun-splashed, move-in-ready co-op featuring custom details, abundant closet space, a sprawling combination layout, and open views of a tree-lined street and historic landmarked townhouses.

Close to Central Park, the Metropolitan Museum of Art, Whole Foods, and a myriad of dining and nightlife options, this renovated 2-bedroom, 2-bathroom residence truly has it all. It begins with a bright living room that flows seamlessly into the dining area, perfect for effortless entertaining and everyday living.

Beautiful hardwood floors and an integrated surround sound audio system run throughout the space, while exposed steel beams and large sash windows give it a loft-like feel. Off the living room, a gallery-like area with custom bookshelves can serve as an office, den, library, or sleeping nook with a shelf that converts into a bed.

The kitchen features a windowed eat-in peninsula with sleek 24-foot Quantra stone countertops, a stylish tiled backsplash, custom cabinetry, and high-end stainless steel appliances, including an Italian gas range and under-counter Sub Zero refrigeration and freezer.

Both bedrooms are quiet and private, thanks to a split-wing layout.

The secluded primary suite features a wall of sensor-illuminated closets and a windowed en-suite bathroom, which is glass-enclosed and adorned with smoked-glass wall tiles, a floating vanity, a wall-mounted toilet, and a walk-in shower. The second bedroom adjoins the living room and offers dual exposures framed by treetop views, reach-in closets, and easy access to a windowed second bathroom with chic tilework, a floating vanity, and a soaking tub with a shower.

221 East 78th Street is a charming boutique co-op with part-time door attendants, a live-in superintendent, shared laundry facilities, storage, a bicycle room, and a tranquil courtyard adorned with furniture, a waterfall, and seasonal plantings to delight the senses.

The building is just moments from restaurants, cafes, and shops, with accessible subway lines including the 4, 5, 6, and Q. Dogs, cats, and pieds- -terre are welcome. A 2% flip tax is paid by the buyer, and 80% maximum financing is permitted.
