GRACIE GARDENS GEM -- Upon entering the gracious foyer of this sprawling two-bedroom, one bath coop plus home office, you will be greeted with soft northern sunlight and lovely tree-top views of Asphalt Green and a peak of the East River. Custom built-in bookshelves, cabinetry, and a deep coat closet perfectly compliment the entry foyer. As you pass through the archway into the over-sized great room, you will feel as though you have limitless layout potential. With over 22' in length, there is ample space for a comfortable dining area without the need to compromise on living space. The renovated, windowed kitchen has been enlarged and offers granite and stainless steel countertops, custom cabinetry with tremendous storage capacity, and modern appliances. Flanked by a separate pantry, preparing meals in this kitchen will be a delight. Off the living/dining room, there is a generous second bedroom which is much larger than that of most junior-4 apartments. Fit for guests or full-time use, this room also benefits from the Asphalt Green exposure. The spacious primary bedroom can accommodate a King bed set and includes a recently installed wall of efficient custom built-ins, eliminating the need for bulky furniture. Completely separated from the main living space and setback from the street, privacy and peace are paramount. The white bathroom has been updated to include new water fixtures and tub and is move-in ready. Last, but certainly not least, is the bonus office which was created adjacent to the entry foyer. This room is equipped with a custom fitted desk, drawers, and adjustable shelving and is truly a 'work-from-home' dream. Recently refinished original two-inch white oak flooring, picture molding, and thru-wall air conditioning complete this very special offering. Designed in 1942 and comprised of 272 homes spread across 4 buildings with a central courtyard, Gracie Gardens is one of Yorkville's premier luxury cooperatives. With 24-hour doorman, live-in Resident Manager and friendly full building staff, landscaped common garden, playroom, community room, bike room, central laundry and additional storage for rent, this community has it all. The coop's close proximity to Carl Schurz Park, the Gracie Mansion Conservancy, the East River Promenade and Asphalt Green, as well as wonderful neighborhood restaurants, the 90th Street Ferry Terminal, 2nd Avenue Subway, and crosstown busses provide for comfortable and convenient living. There is a monthly capital assessment of $259.69 though December 2024.
