264 Lexington Avenue, Unit 1D
Description
This stately building also features one of the most beautifully landscaped roof decks in Manhattan featuring private...Rarely available pre-war one-bedroom with a windowed home office and what is truly the crown jewel of this home: a large private and serene landscaped patio/garden that has been thoughtfully upgraded and renovated into a rare outdoor retreat more commonly associated with townhouse living than apartment living in Manhattan. Perfect for alfresco, cooking, dining, relaxing and entertaining.
This stately building also features one of the most beautifully landscaped roof decks in Manhattan featuring private seating areas with spectacular views of both the iconic Chrysler and Empire State Buildings. Plus it provides a BBQ grill for barbecuing. It doesn't get much better than this!
Tucked away in the back of the building, surrounded by other private gardens, Residence 1D offers remarkable peace and quiet while showcasing the timeless character that makes pre-war homes so sought after, including soaring 9’5” beamed ceilings, beautiful hardwood floors, elegant moldings, and a gracious entry foyer.
Upon entering, you are welcomed by a proper entry foyer with a large coat closet on one side and a windowed home office on the other side, which could even function as a nursery. The spacious living room easily accommodates both living and dining areas and is filled with natural light from two windows.
The windowed galley kitchen features plentiful storage cabinetry and countertop prep space, a full-sized gas range and refrigerator, and the ability to install a full-sized dishwasher. There is also a breakfast bar, a perfect zen space for having your morning coffee to get your day started.
The bedroom is both comfortable and pin-drop quiet and features two windows, custom built-in closets to accommodate all your seasonal clothing, and can easily accommodate a queen-sized bed. The windowed bathroom retains its classic pre-war charm with original-style subway tile, black border detailing, and a traditional soaking tub.
Directly off the bedroom is the enviable crown jewel of this home — a large and truly functional private patio/garden that has been renovated and beautifully landscaped to create a true outdoor oasis in the heart of the city.
Designed for entertaining, relaxing, dining, and gardening, the space is large enough to offer several dining and seating area arrangements and space for additional planter boxes for gardening. It provides a level of private outdoor living that is extraordinarily rare in Manhattan, including a mounted hammock for reading, relaxing or napping! It also includes two storage bins for outdoor cushions, gardening equipment and other outdoor living necessities.
