6 East 68th Street #3FL

Unique and rarely available full floor, loft-like apartment with 2 bedrooms and 2.5 bathrooms on an elegant tree-lined block of the Upper East Side's Gold Coast. Just a few wallets' lengths from Madison Avenue's glittering bracelet of stores and even closer to that treasured oasis, Central Park.

A brand new key-locked elevator whisks you up and opens directly into a quiet and polished retreat. An impressive, almost stage-like, living room with an 11-foot high ceiling, beautifully refinished hardwood floors and 3 sets of oversized wood framed double casement windows allowing for wonderful North light and tree top views. The wood burning fireplace is a gift of simplicity, keeping you home on a winter night. Perfect for entertaining, the sizeable dining area is adjacent to an abundantly cabineted pass-thru kitchen featuring a Liebherr refrigerator, double electric convection wall ovens, super quiet Bosch dishwasher and countertop gas range. A private hallway leads to 2 bedrooms with glorious South sunlight in the pin drop quiet rear. The master suite has its own 5-piece bathroom, and each bedroom has a walk-in closet. Extra bonus: a second wood burning fireplace is behind the sheetrock of the east wall of the master. Fresh and voluminous, the clean feel of an open minimalist loft in excellent condition.

This quaintly private, two building, 13-unit townhouse co-op has a newly renovated lobby with a protected entrance of heavy wrought iron and glass doors that open into a hall with curved paneled wood walls and a beautifully marbled floor. Additional features include central AC & heat, video intercom, laundry in the basement and a full-time super.
