Live the timeless, classic Upper East Side life in this corner co-op at 901 Lexington Avenue. In addition to retaining the grandeur of its original 1907 design, interiors by renowned designer Suzanne Rheinstein render its elegance unique. Hand-painted hardwood floors and murals by Bob Christian are just a few of the timeless details that elevate this $1,600,000 home.
Enter the home through a large gallery framed by nine-and-a-half-foot ceilings and custom tile floors. On either side are the home’s living area and tranquil bedroom suite.
A large, sunny corner living room with a wood-burning fireplace, oversized windows, and beamed ceilings is the perfect frame for hand-painted murals and pre-war architectural flourishes. New York City skyline views of the armory and beyond highlight this ideal Manhattan location. Off the living room is a library that can be used as a dining room or a second bedroom.
A windowed eat-in kitchen is classic and elegant with plenty of cabinets and counter space. Adding modern convenience is a seamlessly integrated washer and dryer.
The south-facing master bedroom suite includes a suitably elegant master bath and a dressing room. A second full bath is just down the hall.
Built in 1907, 901 Lexington Avenue is a full-service co-op. In addition to a full-time doorman and elevator attendant, the pet-friendly building offers a gym, bicycle storage, private storage, and a laundry room.
