A Pied a Terre with Maid's Room

Nestled in the heart of the Upper East Side, within one of its most coveted Rosario Candela-designed buildings completed in 1928, this impeccably proportioned one-bedroom apartment exudes elegance. The south-facing living room is adorned with a Louis XVI style white marble fireplace, custom-fitted bookshelves, and expansive windows that frame the picturesque view of 77th Street's charming townhouses. Entry into the residence is through a sophisticated foyer featuring exquisite mahogany doors and a dry bar, forming the apartment's central axis. The living room extends to the south, while a private hallway to the west leads to the serene bedroom and bathroom, both offering bespoke closets and overlooking a spacious, well-kept courtyard. The adjacent kitchen, bathed in natural light from its window, comfortably accommodates a table with three chairs. The apartment is equipped with through-wall air conditioning and retains its original condition, offering a canvas for personalization. Accompanying the apartment is an outside maid's room, SVT-11, conveniently located on the same floor and currently utilized as a functional office space with built-in desk and laundry facilities discreetly concealed behind louvered doors. Situated at 3 East 77th Street, part of the prestigious 960 Fifth Avenue, this exclusive cooperative offers unique in-house food service for a modest annual fee of $5520. Residents enjoy a stunning penthouse gym, the flexibility of pied-à-terre living, and a pet-friendly environment. The property includes a dedicated storage unit in the basement. Notably, the building has no summer work restrictions, although financing is not permitted, and the buyer is responsible for a 2% flip tax. This distinguished offering presents a rare opportunity for those seeking a sophisticated urban retreat.
