205 East 78TH 20C

Rare and Splendid. A one of a kind opportunity to own a turnkey junior penthouse on the 20th floor of a prewar UES Co-op. Located at the prime corner of 78th and Third, this artfully-designed, magazine-worthy, spacious 2-bed 2-bath apartment with custom built cabinetry throughout, has undergone an extensive renovation from newly-finished floors to a sleek open kitchen with grey hand painted cabinetry and Arabescato marble slabs. The stylish large living room with added crown moldings is centered by a wood burning fireplace that has been upgraded with a new hearth and mantle is perfect for entertaining.

The master bedroom is tucked away from the living area, designed with full-height double closet doors with antique mirrors. Spacious corner 2nd bedroom enjoys two exposures, and has ensuite access to the full jack and jill bath with a window that also services as a powder room when you are entertaining. New medicine cabinets, a new vanity, sink and hardware in the master bath, and new Toto toilets in both baths.

Flooding light pours into the home all day long, with wonderful unobstructed views to the south and west, capturing The Carlyle Hotel, Empire State Building and other iconic buildings make the apartment a truly special jewel. The Shades Store custom shades throughout the apartment includes blackout shades in both bedrooms.

Built in 1925 and converted to a cooperative in 1982, 205 East 78th Street is a pristine 20-story Art Deco building boasting an elegant lobby and hallways that were recently renovated. Residents' amenities include a full-time doorman, live-in super, common laundry, storage and bike rooms. The location is superior, proximal to everything: Central Park, shopping, restaurants and public transportation. Monthly maintenance includes electricity, heat and hot water. Pied-a-terres, sublets, guarantors, co-purchasing, parents buying for children and gifting are allowed.
