16 East 84th St 5B

A rarely available prewar condo in the most desirable location on the UES: just steps from Central Park, the MET and Museum Mile, the best restaurants and shops and all transportation.

This elegant 2 bedroom / 1.5 bath condo, in a lovely, wide Beaux Arts Townhouse, gets beautiful natural light from huge windows and open views, although you can still hear a pin drop. The beautiful original prewar details include approximately 11 ceilings, a pair of exquisitely carved wood doors, and a wood-burning fireplace with marble mantle.

While the LR evokes the glamour of the 19th century, the windowed kitchen is firmly in the 21st. Renovated by the current owners, the large kitchen opens to the living room and is fully equipped for a chef (including an oven that is vented out). An additional modern comfort is through-wall A/C. The MBR has 3 exposures and opens to a lovely balcony with a view of the MET - the perfect size for morning coffee or evening star-gazing. The second BR, which can easily be converted to a den, has an en suite half bath.

This is truly a special opportunity!
