The building, designed by renowned architect Emery Roth in 1939 and constructed in 1940, is a blend of 'Style Moderne' architecture with a hint of 'Art Deco'. The design is echoed in the interior of this rarely available 'E' line unit with its clean lines, nine foot ceilings, corner window and a signature Emery Roth dining oval or open ellipse. From a public hall, of only four units, you step into a foyer followed by a gallery with living room to the right and the afore-mentioned dining oval to the left. The design provides a very open flow, ideal for entertaining, with a sight line of some 42 feet from the rear wall of the dining area, across the gallery to the far window wall of the living room. The living room is exceptionally large at 25 feet long by 13 feet wide. The undeniable focal point of the room is a north and west facing corner window with the latter exposure providing a straight on view of Central Park. This same west view brings in boundless afternoon and evening sun that seemingly illuminates the entire room.
The living room and dining room of this estate apartment have been restored (pictures to be added) to help you visualize how you can transform the rest of the apartment. Beyond the living/dining you find a bedroom wing with two master-sized bedrooms...one with en-suite bath and the second with a hall bath just outside the room. Beyond the dining room you find a small butler's pantry that opens to a large galley kitchen. At the end of the kitchen you find the original maids room and bath. This room can be designed to serve a multitude of purposes depending on your lifestyle. There is great closet space throughout.
The full-service building features a live-in super, attended elevators, bicycle room, business center, fully appointed fitness center and communal garden. The building does allow the installation of central air and/or washer/dryers with Board approval. NO pets are permitted.
LIving on the corner of East 69th Street and Fifth Avenue allows you to walk directly across the street through the pedestrian entrance and straight into the park. You are truly in the epi-center of the best of the Madison and Fifth Avenue corridor. Showings Monday thru Friday 10AM to 4:30PM by appointment.
