55 East 65 Street   Unit 4A

Sometimes less is more, especially when you have an ornate wood-burning fireplace flanked by custom bookcases, 10 foot ceilings with crown moldings, original strip oak floors, and oversized windows. The clean lines and subtle sophistication showcase the livability of this renovated two bedroom, one bathroom prewar home. An open floor plan allows for more light and fluid movement between the living and dining area. With its neatly concealed murphy bed, this space easily converts to a second bedroom. With abundant outfitted closets, the master bedroom is spacious enough to accommodate a king size bed. The windowed kitchen is compact, but ship-shape. The efficient design includes glass-front cabinetry, marble countertops, and high-end appliances. The renovated bathroom is a contemporary take on the classic prewar style. By focusing on color, space, and shape, this prewar home is sleek and fresh.
55 East 65th Street, a boutique prewar cooperative, is ideally located between Madison and Park Avenues; nearby are fashionable Madison Avenue shops, acclaimed restaurants, and Central Park. Convenient to public transportation, there are subway stations and cross town bus service just a few blocks away. Built in 1910, this impeccably maintained, 36 unit building features the most charming resident manager (who will accept packages), elevator, renovated hallways, bike storage, laundry area, and low monthly maintenance. Pets and pied-a-terre ownership are allowed. Showings are permitted on Monday through Friday from 10-4. 48 hours' notice is required.
