High above the Upper East Side, this extraordinary 38th-floor corner condominium offers breathtaking panoramic views stretching across the East River, the Manhattan skyline, and beyond. With sweeping eastern, southern, and western exposures, the beautifully renovated two-bedroom, two-bathroom residence captures an ever-changing panorama of the city, from iconic architectural landmarks to the distant horizon. A wood-burning fireplace, private balcony, exceptional custom cabinetry, and a thoughtfully designed split-bedroom layout create a home that is as inviting and comfortable as it is visually spectacular. From the moment you enter, the views are simply remarkable. Expansive windows frame the East River, Brooklyn, Queens, the Bronx, and the Manhattan skyline, with notable landmarks including the Chrysler Building, One World Trade Center, One Vanderbilt, and the MetLife Building, along with portions of Central Park and distant views toward New Jersey. From this remarkable vantage point, even Yankee Stadium, the U.S. Open tennis center, and planes approaching LaGuardia become part of the captivating landscape. A gracious entry foyer with extensive custom storage leads into the generously proportioned living room, where a working wood-burning fireplace creates a warm and welcoming focal point. The room is equally suited to quiet evenings and entertaining, while a private balcony just beyond offers an intimate outdoor retreat, perfect for morning coffee or simply enjoying the fresh air above the city. The attention to craftsmanship is evident throughout the residence, particularly in the bespoke cabinetry and built-in furnishings by Smallbone of Devizes, the renowned English luxury design house. Beautifully crafted walnut cabinetry, thoughtfully integrated storage, and distinctive finishes lend the interiors a sophisticated, furniture-like quality rarely found in conventional apartment renovations. Every element feels intentional, with an emphasis on both visual beauty and everyday functionality. The designer pass-through kitchen is a particular highlight, featuring custom Smallbone of Devizes walnut and silver cabinetry, a Viking range, Sub-Zero refrigerator, and Miele dishwasher. Its beautifully tailored design combines exceptional storage with a practical layout that connects naturally to the living and dining spaces. The dedicated dining area enjoys its own distinctive setting, creating an inviting place for everything from everyday meals to intimate dinners. The thoughtfully designed split-bedroom layout provides exceptional privacy and flexibility, whether accommodating guests, family, or a dedicated home office. The generously proportioned corner primary bedroom offers a peaceful retreat, complemented by extensive custom closets and built-in storage. The second bedroom is equally well scaled, with a full wall of closets. Both bathrooms continue the home's refined design aesthetic with custom Smallbone of Devizes walnut cabinetry and carefully selected finishes. An in-unit Miele washer and dryer adds further convenience.
