NEW TO MARKET . . . SUN-FILLED and BEAUTIFULLY RENOVATED SOUTH & WEST-FACING "EXTENSION ONE-BEDROOM" with soaring 11' ceilings situated 2 flights up in a landmark townhouse between Park & Madison, in the heart of the UES Historic District. Offered for the first time in nearly a decade, this rarely available home has just undergone a meticulous, high-end renovation. Every detail from the finishes to the fixtures is brand-new and in mint condition. Spanning the entire width of the building, the grand living room measures ~19' x 19' and expands to 24' where the most charming, south-facing bow window forms a semi-circular alcove, an ideal spot for a dining area or a separate home office. Restored prewar details include a tray ceiling, a decorative fireplace, and various moldings. Originally the expansive master bedroom of a sprawling 5-story mansion, the living room is open, airy, full of charm, and a great space for entertaining. The beautifully renovated, all-new kitchen features ample storage in custom-made high-gloss white cabinets, quartz countertops, a stainless-steel fridge, stove, and microwave oven, and a breakfast bar opening onto the living room. Six enormous 7' x 3' windows facing south and west fill the apartment with natural light and offer peaceful views of townhouse gardens. A windowed hallway in the extension (a separate wing) provides access to a spacious, all-new marble bathroom and a sunny, south & west-facing corner bedroom that can accommodate a queen-size bed, a nightstand, and a large dresser. The bedroom's location at the far end of the extension offers complete privacy from the living room. A bright windowed loft above the bathroom and hallway offers extra space that previous tenants used for storage, a guest sleeping nook, or a cozy play area for a child. Additional features include huge closets with overhead storage cabinets, recessed lighting, a ceiling fan, new oak strip flooring, and a two-tone paint job throughout. Super prime location within minutes to Midtown, close to the subway & crosstown transportation, near the city's best museums, around the corner from world-class shopping & dining, and just one & a half blocks to Central Park. PET POLICY: Cats are okay, but dogs are not permitted. If you are looking for a truly special home with an address to match, at a reasonable price, this rare gem is not to be missed. Credit check fee: $15/applicant. First month's rent and a one-month security deposit due at lease signing. Rent includes heat & hot water; tenants pay for cooking gas and electricity.
