About This Home
As of February 2025Exceptional value on the Upper East!

Just steps from the iconic Mission and within the sought-after Roosevelt School district, this turnkey home was thoughtfully renovated with permits in 2022.

The main floor features an open flow between the living areas, leading to a stunning chef's kitchen equipped with a wine fridge, double oven, quartzite countertops, a large breakfast-bar island, and a spacious pantry. Adjacent to the kitchen is a generously sized laundry room. The secluded primary suite on this level offers a spa-like bathroom with a soaking tub, glass-enclosed shower, and dual vanities. Two additional bedrooms are located on the lower level, while the top floor hosts a third bedroom suite and a private flex room, perfect for an office, theatre, or gym.
The sun-soaked backyard is designed for relaxation and entertaining, featuring a new Trex deck, an in-ground hot tub, a fire pit, and a detached office. Surrounded by mature oak trees and a Ficus-hedged fence, the property offers privacy with minimal upkeep. Just minutes from local parks, fine dining, and the vibrant Theatre District, this elegant home offers sophisticated living with the lively lifestyle that defines this highly sought-after neighborhood.
