This light-filled, 2BR, 2.5 bath apartment with a formal dining room, has generous proportions, large windows and exceptional closet space. After passing through the entrance hall, one encounters an eighteen foot central gallery which provides access to all the principal rooms. The apartment exudes an elegant pre-war English aesthetic which maintains the original classic layout with its expansive wallspace. However, the floorplan is very flexible and could easily be changed to suit a variety of needs including adding a third bedroom or opening walls to create a contemporary loft-like feel. The large, corner living room has windows facing both north and east, with blue sky and city views all the way up Third Avenue. In addition to the formal dining room, there is a breakfast room adjacent to the kitchen. The two large split bedrooms each have an en suite bath and multiple closets, including a walk-in closet in both. A powder room is off the entrance hall. In a prime location in the heart of the Upper East Side, Townsend House is located on a beautiful, tree-lined, landmarked, townhouse block west of Third Avenue. The building, expertly designed by Candela's partner and protege, Paul Resnick, was built as a cooperative and is a much sought after, well maintained and extremely well managed building that is staffed to the highest standards. The building has separate individual storage, a gym, a garage, a bike room, a children's outdoor play area, and a laundry room. Washer/Dryers are permitted. Sorry, no pets. 40 percent financing allowed. There is a monthly assessment of $165.57 until March, 2021 and a 2 percent flip tax. Showings Monday-Friday 9am-5pm.
