PRICE REDUCTION!  Located on one of the upper East Side's most beautiful tree-lined streets, this spacious, sophisticated, ground-floor townhouse apartment is graced with high ceilings, a flexible floor plan, and a delightfully private, large, south-facing garden.  One enters the apartment through a gracious foyer with coat closet leading into the elegant living room/dining room with a big interior window, a built-in bar, and a corridor with curved arches leading to the bedroom and 1.5 baths. Both the powder room and the large primary bathroom have been attractively renovated.  The almost square bedroom has three ample closets behind louver doors and a decorative fireplace with mantle flanked by built-in bookcases. On the south wall is a tall Palladian window with central fan light and two flanking sets of double French  doors opening on to the amazing 24'x15' garden with its walls strikingly inset with lava stone.  The fully equipped kitchen, at the front of the apartment beside the front door, has a stackable washer/dryer and a new Whirlpool gas range that is still under warranty. This unusual offering, in good estate condition, presents a unique opportunity to create a very special home with rare outdoor space in a sought-after neighborhood. Truly a listing not to be missed!  Storage unit and laundry in basement.  This coop building has a part-time super and allows pets as well as pied a terres.   75% financing permitted.
