Contemporary elegance with open city views from the gracious set-back terrace in a prestigious upper east side location. From the moment one enters this sun-drenched mint 2 bedroom/2 bath apt (plus bonus room)  there is a sense of serenity and warmth. Cove lighting, custom bamboo panels, ash pearl wood floors, frosted glass door inserts --- all done in the best of taste. The open kitchen, dining area and living room make family time and entertaining easy and enjoyable. And, the 290 sq ft terrace with a beautiful awning is planted, irrigated and wired for music. The kitchen is stunning, complete with Sub-Zero refrigerator, Sub-Zero wine cooler, Wolf oven and stove top, Miele dishwasher and washer/dryer, white lacquer and bamboo cabinets, as well as plenty of storage and counter space. A large corner master bedroom includes two totally outfitted walk-in closets, ensuite bath with stunning mosaic tiles and enjoys south and west views from the double exposure. The second bedroom (currently configured as a den) has lovely built-ins and there is also an office/third bedroom in this impeccable apt. The attractive second bath is conveniently located for both personal and guest use with glass tiles, deep soaking tub, Alape sink and Duravit toilet. No convenience has been overlooked.
