Description

You do not need to move to Connecticut!!! This apartment feels like a wonderful home outside the city, but you get to live on 70th and Lexington in the most charming (and newly acknowledged as being very hip) section of the Upper East Side just 3 blocks from Central Park. Residence 6/7A at 955 Lexington Avenue is a beautifully renovated, expansive duplex offering elegant and thoughtfully designed living space with high ceilings and four working fireplaces. Ideal for both entertaining and comfortable everyday living, this bright and airy home seamlessly blends classic proportions with modern upgrades, allowing you to move right in.

The apartment has 4 bedrooms plus a library and a kitchen you can actually hang out in, all done in the best, prettiest taste with lovely exposures. A gracious entrance gallery leads to a living room with a wood burning fireplace and two large seating areas. A formal dining room is accessible through two charming arched openings and also has its own wood burning fireplace. Just off the living room, a sophisticated library with wet bar provides a great place to read or watch a movie. A large bedroom with a bath, currently used as a playroom is also on this level. The kitchen feels like something outside the city with big windows facing west, north and east, a prep kitchen area, a big cooking area with an island with four stools and a wonderful built-in banquette. There is also a charming wet bar/butler’s pantry area with wine fridge and a second dishwasher, and a large mud room/laundry off the kitchen.

Upstairs, the primary bedroom suite serves as a tranquil retreat, featuring a very large bedroom with its own wood-burning fireplace, a separate sitting room, a great primary bath and lots of closet space. The two additional bedrooms on the second floor are bright and well-proportioned.

Oversized windows and multiple charming exposures fill the residence with natural light throughout the day, enhancing the home’s warm and inviting atmosphere. With its seamless layout, refined renovation, and impressive scale, this residence offers the feel of a house within a full-service cooperative.

A rare opportunity to own a turnkey, sun-filled home of this caliber in a prime Upper East Side location.

955 Lexington Avenue is cooperative offering 24/7 attended lobby, a live-in resident manager, private storage, common roof terrace, bicycle room, laundry, and even firewood delivery to your door. The building is pet-friendly and allows up to 65% financing. There is a 2% flip tax.
