Property Description
Enter Apartment 12A at 135 East 71st Street and experience the warmth and charm of a genuinely elegant Upper East Side home. Perched on a high floor in a coveted postwar cooperative, this grand residence invites you in with an oversized foyer that immediately sets the tone-gracious, refined, and light-filled. As you enter the living room, you're struck by the room's impressive scale and beautiful proportions. Sunlight pours in from the south, filtering across the original parquet floors that have been lovingly preserved and remain in excellent condition. To the right, the formal dining room unfolds, offering the perfect backdrop for both intimate dinners and larger gatherings. Thanks to the classic layout and generous dimensions, this space could easily be converted into a third bedroom or home office without sacrificing flow or comfort. Moving through the home, you'll find a windowed kitchen and discreet powder room, along with thoughtfully designed custom-built-ins and abundant storage. Every inch of the apartment has been maximized for beauty and function, from the cabinetry to the closet systems. There is through-wall air conditioning in each major room, allowing for year-round comfort without compromising the apartment's architectural integrity. The bedroom wing is tucked away, creating a quiet and private sanctuary. The secondary bedroom is bathed in southern and western light, making it bright and cheerful throughout the day. Across the hall, the corner primary suite offers a peaceful retreat with northern and western exposures, en-suite bath, and two walk-in closets outfitted by California Closets. 135 East 71st Street is an impeccably maintained 101-unit post-war co-op located in the heart of the Upper East Side's Gold Coast, west of Lexington, on one of the most exquisite, landmarked streets in the area. Amenities include 24-hour doormen, live-in super, fitness center, children's playroom, and on-site parking garage. The neighborhood is immersed with unique shops and dining. From mom-and-pop antique and clothing stores to Michelin-star restaurants and shopping on Madison Avenue. 2% building flip tax paid by the purchaser. Pied-a-terre is permitted. Subletting is not permitted. Maximum financing 65%. Smoking is not allowed. Apartment 12A offers not only an exceptionally well-maintained home but also a timeless sense of place. It's a space that feels as elegant as it is livable, with just the right blend of prewar character and adequate upgrades to make it both beautiful and practical.
