Rare classic six apartment in a beautiful pre-war 1929 building! This elegant apartment has been renovated by the current owner and features a gracious foyer, a large living room with a new built-in library, a full dining room, two master-sized corner bedrooms with two baths and a lovely den or childs room with French doors and built-in bookshelves and cabinets. All original details have been kept, including an elegant herringbone floor, recently refinished, in the living and dining rooms. The entire apartment, including the kitchen, gets excellent light, and the rooms are well-proportioned and spacious. The apartment has exposures on three sides, with both street views and an interior outlook on trees and townhouses. There is extensive closet space, including a cedar-panelled closet (one of two walk-ins) in the master bedroom. The kitchen includes a brand new stainless steel French door refrigerator and full washer and dryer. The building, located on a quiet block on the Upper East Side, offers a 24-hour doorman and live-in superintendent; a large garden area for residents; and recently renovated storage, bicycle and laundry rooms. The maintenance includes basic cable. The building is only steps to Central Park, public transportation, and extensive shopping areas including the new Fairway on 86th St.
