176 E 71st St #5B

This stunning, bright corner 2 bedroom, 2.5 bath home (convertible 3 bedroom) is in beautiful, move-in condition in one of the finest full-service coops on the Upper East Side. (Fun fact: This charming, brownstone-lined street is where Breakfast at Tiffany’s was filmed!) A gracious entry foyer with adjacent powder room and in-unit washer/dryer closet leads into the welcoming gallery and sunny, oversized living room with separate dining room, both overlooking one of the loveliest tree-lined blocks west of Third Avenue. The dining room easily converts to a roomy, private 3rd bedroom or office with two bright exposures. No detail has been overlooked in this gracious home, which will check off every box on your wish list: rich plank hardwood floors, wide baseboard molding, motorized window shades, beautiful custom built-ins along the windows with stone counters and lots of extra storage, excellent closet space, and plenty of wall space to display your art collection! The large windowed kitchen with pantry has been renovated with warm wood cabinetry, granite countertops, and top-of-the-line stainless appliances including a Viking cooktop and double wall oven. There is lots of counter space and plenty of room to accommodate multiple cooks in the kitchen! The two large bedrooms are extremely peaceful with south-facing views overlooking tree tops and lush gardens, and both bedrooms have full en-suite baths. The primary bedroom has two bright exposures, two very generous walk-in closets, and a windowed bath. This rambling home is quiet and sun-soaked with a terrific layout and extra large room proportions. The gallery and living room are 35-ft long, and the living and dining room measure 25 ft across. The kitchen and all 3 bathrooms are updated and in excellent condition, ready for you to move right in! Extra bonus--full-size Bosch stacked washer and dryer in the unit. The Townsend House is an intimate, boutique building and one of the most sought after coops on the Upper East Side, known for its coveted location between Lexington and Third Avenues, full-time doorman, concierge, live-in resident manager, garage, gym, outdoor garden, common laundry room, bike room, and a large private storage unit assigned to each apartment at no additional charge! 60% financing is permitted, as are pied-a-terre purchases. Sorry, no pets. The great location is convenient to two subway lines and several bus lines, shopping, museums, restaurants, and Central Park. Built as a coop in 1962, Townsend House has 92 apartments on 20 floors, and the lobby, hallways and elevators have been recently and elegantly renovated. This is a rare opportunity to have it all in a terrific location! Make your private appointment to see this special home today!
