Welcome to Roosevelt Island, the city’s best-kept secret, located just one subway stop from Midtown Manhattan! Residence 208 is a stunning duplex featuring 2 bedrooms and 2 full bathrooms, modern finishes and the most breath-taking water and city views!
This newly designed home is further elevated by oversized windows, crown moldings, and beautiful hardwood floors. Eastern and Western exposures flood the apartment with natural light, and a well-thought layout offers immense privacy from the neighbors. The oversized living area enjoys direct water and Manhattan views - the most coveted exposure in the building. The seamless integration with the kitchen and dining areas makes the space perfect for gatherings and entertainment. The chef’s kitchen comes fully equipped with stainless steel Viking appliances, custom cabinetry, and an abundance of storage. The breakfast bar offers a convenient space for a quick meal, while the adjoining dining area accommodates a large table for a more formal set up.
The bedroom wing is tucked away on the other side of the apartment, offering a separation between living and sleeping for added serenity. The primary bedroom easily accommodates a king-sized bed and features an en-suite marble bathroom with a stand up shower. The second bedroom easily accommodates a queen-size bed and is perfect for use as a bedroom, a spacious office or a guest room. The second full bathroom is located in the hallway for easy access and has a deep soaking tub. The apartment comes with a separate private storage cage for additional storage needs.
WASHER AND DRYER permitted with board approval. There is currently no hook up in the apartment; however, there is a laundry room on the floor steps away from the apartment. Please note there is an additional Tax Equivalency Payment of $364.42 per month.
