This duplex co-op at 14 East 75th Street embodies the ideal of Upper East Side pre-war glamour, with the added drama of an unforgettable double-height living room. Asking $4,500,000, the chic classic six overlooks the treetops of the Lenox Hill neighborhood from within a two-floor sanctuary of 21st-century comfort.
Arrive via semi-private elevator landing into a long entry gallery, framed by herringbone-patterned oak floors and architectural columns. The apartment offers modern updates throughout, including central A/C and recessed lighting.
The same columns frame the dazzling double-height living room anchored by a wood-burning fireplace. Floor-to-ceiling leaded-glass windows fill the room with light.
The large formal dining room holds its own drama in the form of herringbone wall panels and a dark, sophisticated marble-clad built-in bar. The fittingly chic kitchen offers top-of-the-line appliances.
To one side, a breakfast nook conceals a Miele washer & dryer. Also on this floor, a compact staff bedroom has an en-suite bath, in classic pre-war style.
Upstairs, A large, airy primary suite has a dressing room lined with custom closets. A marble-clad bath has a separate bathtub and step-in shower.
A second bedroom also gets an en-suite bath. At the top of the stairs, a cozy home office overlooks the living room below. This level can also be accessed by elevator landing.
The 1929 co-op residence, designed by George F. Pelham, offers a 24-hour doorman, a resident manager, a newly updated gym, private storage, and bicycle storage. Pets, pieds-à-terre, and trust purchases are allowed with board approval.
