4 bedroom Apartment For Sale: 501 EAST..

ONE OF A KIND MAGNIFICENT 4BR HOME On entering the apartment, you are greeted by an elegant impressive entrance hall. The apartment itself faces East and West with a grand living and entertaining area offering views of the over 1500sf private terrace, perfect for gardening, hosting, and dining. The layout of this combined apartment is beautiful and functional. There is a formal dining room, also facing the flowering terrace, with two bedrooms on one wing and two bedrooms on the other. All bedrooms are very large and have easy access to the 3.5 baths. The master suite has a dressing room that is large enough to be an office or nursery. Two baths are in-suite (the master and another bedroom), and the other baths are right outside the other bedrooms. In addition, the half bath can easily be restored to a full bath if so desired. The eat-in kitchen feels like you are in a house (as does the entire apartment). The appliances are top end - Bosch, Fisher-Paykel, GE Profile and enjoys two dishwashers. The kitchen table sets comfortably in its own area within the kitchen and is perfectly placed so you can see the landscaped terrace, and walk right into the living/dining area. The apartment is quite beautiful featuring dental moldings, recessed lighting, a marble floor entryway, and new hardwood floors. The bathrooms are all done in fine materials, and one includes a Jacuzzi. The kitchen from one of the apartments was made into a laundry room with full Washer/Dryer and lots of storage. The closet and storage space throughout the unit is amazing. There is surround sound in one bedroom (the library), and a self-watering system set upon a timer on the terrace. It is hard to put in writing how special this apartment is. It feels like a house in regard to layout, size, outdoor space, storage, etc. but has the benefit of building services - full-time doorman, live-in resident manager, beautiful roof-deck and plans for other amenities in the future, such as a gym. The building has impeccable financials, generated by high retail income space. It was built as a co-op in 1961, and strived to be appealing to purchasers with its wide hallways, few apartments per floor, and gracious, spacious layouts. It is conveniently located near public transportation, a taxi line to downtown Manhattan, the new Second Avenue Subway, public and private schools, beautiful parks, great restaurants and markets, good shopping, a public library, and a post office.
