Listing Notes
Spectacular light, sweeping city and Central Park views, and two expansive private terraces make this exceptional 2-bedroom home a true Upper East Side gem. Sunlight floods the apartment through oversized windows, highlighting the home's elegant proportions, beautiful flow, and timeless pre-war character. Designed for both comfortable living and stylish entertaining, the layout offers a rare combination of charm, scale, and outdoor space.
