Incredibly special home in a historic Nineteenth Century Neo-Grec townhouse (with an elevator) only a block from Central Park. The grand living room boasts 12'2" ceilings, a wood burning fireplace and oversized windows that face south over one of the Upper East Side's prettiest tree-lined streets. Spread across 3 levels, this 2 Bedroom/2.5 bathroom unit truly feels likes a private European townhouse which exudes charm and is a peaceful escape from the hustle and bustle of everyday city life. Originally built in the 1880's for a prominent New York family of the Gilded Age, this glamorous home has loads of character and unbelievably low maintenance. Other details include hardwood floors, an abundance of closets/storage, a second wood burning fireplace, thru-wall air conditioning and recessed lighting throughout. This solid New York co-op has a Super, central laundry room and permits pets, pied-a-terres and foreign purchasers with Board Approval.
