Description

Exquisite Triple-Exposure 2 Bedroom/2 Bath Condo with a Wrap-Balcony & W/D

Awash in sunlight, this beautifully proportioned, one-of-a kind two bedroom, two bath has been renovated to perfection and features a dramatic 33 ft. entrance gallery preceding a magnificent triple-exposure living room/dining room and a large open kitchen.

The spacious, south-west corner exposure living room has a pair of floor-to-ceiling sliding glass doors leading out to a large wrap-balcony. The north wall of the living room, fabricated from woven natural walnut, opens to reveal a cleverly concealed desk/home office. The south-east corner exposure dining room accommodates a table for eight and has been finished with custom wood built-ins including a gorgeous hand-made cherry wood bar cabinet.

The windowed open kitchen features Subzero, Wolf and Miele appliances including a vented hood and a wine refrigerator, frosted glass & white lacquer cabinetry, honed stone countertops and a large center island with a breakfast bar.

This thoughtfully designed kitchen is perfect for entertaining.

The gracious primary bedroom suite faces east offering views of Tudor City and the United Nations through oversized windows. The renovated white marble bathroom features an oversized frameless glass shower and custom fixtures. There are four outfitted closets and beautiful custom wood built-ins under the windows.

The spacious second bedroom also faces east, has two customized closets and built-ins under the windows.

The second bathroom has a large Jacuzzi tub and is finished with natural stone and custom wood accents. The laundry room has a vented washer/dryer and excellent storage.

Additional features of the home include beautiful Mahogany hardwood floors, extra closets, custom cabinets, custom lighting and new gradient blinds.

The real estate taxes quoted include a 17.5% abatement for occupancy as a primary residence. The unabated taxes would be approx. $2,428/mo.

Located between 2nd and 3rd Avenues, The Vanderbilt is the gold-standard of full-service doorman condominiums in Murray Hill.
