This tranquil three-bedroom/three-bathroom "bridge unit" residence featuring Northern and Southern exposure is located in Manhattan House's premier A tower. It has beautiful city and sky views, a wood-burning fireplace, and a grand living room. What makes this apartment unique is that the entire apartment is set back from the street allowing for more light and privacy. Highly desirable, this layout is rarely available in the A tower. Living in the A tower you'll have easy access to Third Avenue and the Exhale gym. Over-sized windows, gorgeous custom plaster moldings, four-inch quarter-sawn rift-cut oak flooring, and solid core doors offer a timeless elegance to this luxury home. The main bedroom is very bright and quiet and faces North overlooking East 66th Street. There are two large custom closets and a beautiful en suite marble bath with a glass-enclosed shower, bathtub, and double vanity with two sinks. The second bedroom has open views, two custom closets, and is very spacious with its bath outside the bedroom. The third bedroom can serve as an office or guest room and has its own en suite marble bath plus a deep walk-in closet perfect for storing large items. The dining area can easily accommodate a large group for gatherings and holiday celebrations and is just off the kitchen. The south-facing windowed gourmet kitchen features Viking Professional Series appliances, custom wood cabinetry, Caesarstone countertops, pantry, wine fridge, Bosch washer/dryer, and plenty of storage and countertop space. Other features include: central HVAC with individually controlled thermostats throughout, high-performance acoustic energy efficient windows, HEPA filtered air, and FIOS ready. All window treatments are included with the sale: black-out shades in the primary and secondary bedrooms, privacy shades, and custom window screens in all rooms.
