24 East 82nd Street Upper East Side Townhouse For Sale

Superbly located in a beautiful Beaux Arts mansion on a tree-lined street just steps from the Metropolitan Museum, this memorable, one-bedroom, ground floor apartment retains many period details and has been converted by the current owner into a bespoke private art gallery.\r\n\r\nOne enters the apartment from the building\'s stately lobby into a foyer with one steps leading down into a high-ceilinged, almost square, great room with baronial painted oak fireplace and matching doorway and window surrounds. Off this great room, to the south, is a windowed bedroom or office with fabulous built-in cupboards and closets. At the front of the apartment is the fully renovated bathroom and work area that easily can be reconverted back into a small kitchen.\r\nAlthough the coop will permit the use of this apartment as a private, by appointment only, live/work space, any signage in the lobby or on the building\'s exterior is forbidden. This apartment has been fully renovated to a very high standard with central air conditioning, fine cabinetry, new windows, track lighting and a sophisticated alarm system. Pets and pied a terre are permitted.\r\nThe richly embellished bow-fronted facade of this beautiful building is a testimony to the grandeur of the Gilded Age. It is situated on one of the most desirable tree-lined streets on the upper East Side between Fifth and Madison Avenues.\r\n
