Ah, the Upper East Side!
From the edge of Central Park at 59th Street to the top of Museum Mile at El Museo del Barrio at 105th Street, this is New York City's Gold Coast. The neighborhood air is perfumed with the scent of old money and glamorous sophistication, with Champagne corks popping and high society puttin' on the Ritz. With its world-famous museums, elite schools, luxury boutiques, and proximity to Central Park, the family-oriented Upper East Side is home to some of the city's richest residents.
We have decided to rent our Upper East Side Townhouse.
First of all, our spectacular four-bedroom triplex apartment is now available for rent by the week or by the month. Let me describe it to you:
When first you enter the enormous living room, you will be dazzled by the Italian fresco on the high ceiling (an homage to Grand Central Station’s restoration) framing a huge antique Venetian chandelier. In the center of the living room stands a working Vermont-marble fireplace with a French Empire mirror hanging over the mantle. Look out the window and view the 1000+ square foot, multi-level private garden with 5 person hot-tub spa.
Relax on the new celadon sofa or the matching loveseat with built in his & hers recliners, while listening to Mozart on the stereo or watching the evening news (or World Series?) on the 50” Panasonic Plasma TV set. (There are also handy DVD and separate VHS players). Not enough room for your company to sit? Well, there is also an Art Deco sofa between the 8 foot high windows.
Our open kitchen looks out over our dining room, large enough for sit-down dinners for 10 or more. The art deco Heywood Wakefield dining set beautifully complements the new hardwood floors. And there is a wood-burning fireplace in the dining room, too!
The primary master bedroom overlooks the garden and has a private entrance to the garden via the spa room. This bedroom has a 25 foot wall of built in closets and dresser in addition to the lovely new bleached wood furnishings and original wrought iron bed.
The second master bedroom is off the living room and shares its 15 foot ceiling height. This bedroom has an enormous 8 foot by 4 foot sunny window facing south, and boasts a Venetian chandelier and a Vermont marble fireplace.
In addition to this, there is a third child’s room together with a separate family/playroom/4th bedroom in the finished basement level, with a door and window to the garden.
Secondly, we are also offering for rent our four bedroom duplex. This elegant apartment has a living room with another Vermont marble fireplace, high ceilings decorated with original plaster moldings and medallion, and is drenched with sunlight from it’s south facing windows.
The formal dining room has yet another wood-burning fireplace, high ceilings, and overlooks the mimosa and fruit trees in our private garden. If formal dining is your joy, this is the right room for you! (This room may substitute as the fourth bedroom).
A large, unusual, fully restored 19th century bathroom graces this entertainment floor, complete with original claw-foot tub, pedestal sink and polished brass plumbing.
And a new kitchen completes this floor, adding modern convenience to old world charm!
Upstairs you will find an enormous and bright master bedroom suite with a wall of closets, a marble fireplace, and a private bathroom.
In the rear you will find a second bedroom (with fireplace, of course), a third bedroom/nursery and a new third bathroom complete with steam room and full laundry facilities. |
