Description

AMAZING OPPORTUNITY to own a High Floor Corner 2 bedroom and 2 bath home in the luxury Upper East Side condominium Continental Towers . This RARELY AVAILABLE "H" line has Mesmerizing Northern and Eastern skyline city views. When you enter, there is a sizable living room with a great space for a full dining table. This elegant apartment features split bedrooms, master bedroom ensuite and a large second bedroom with double exposures that can easily be converted into an office.

There are crown moldings, smooth ceilings with no popcorn, paneled doors, wood floors throughout and great closet space. To top all that there is a windowed eat in kitchen with ample storage and granite counters and you can even put in your own washer & dryer. All this makes this charming home very special.

Continental Towers has a full time doorman and concierge, and a staff of over 27 to help you with whatever you may need.Let’s not forget the LOW COMMON CHARGES.. There is a laundry room off the lobby, fitness center (for owner’s only) and a roof deck. Outdoor dining, shopping, museums, Carl Schurz Park, Central Park, and all transportation (Q & 6 trains) are very close.

Don’t miss this gem! After living in the building for over 35 years, I can tell you from personal experience the staff is fabulous and the building is run extremely well. Why not talk to someone in the know
