This sunny 2-bedroom, 2-bathroom condominium is perched on the 23rd floor of one of the Upper East Sides most dramatic high-rises, a sleek and slender tower designed by architect Frank Williams. Located on a quiet, cul-de-sac-like street a half-block from the famed Sothebys auction house, this 50-story residence is a jewel in the Upper East Side skyline.

The centerpiece of the 1,048-square-foot home is an open living room lined with oversized floor-to-ceiling windows that feature breathtaking vies of the East River and Midtown. The pass-through kitchen is outfitted with state-of-the-art appliances including a stainless steel double-door refrigerator, gas stove, microwave and dishwasher. The master bedroom features a walk-in closet and an en-suite marble bathroom with a Jacuzzi tub, while the second bedroom has two closets and an adjacent marble bathroom. Both bedrooms boast sweeping city views, and beautiful herringbone wood floors run throughout the apartment. This pet-friendly home also includes central air, ample closet space, and a washer and dryer.

The Belaire is a full-service luxury building complete with a 24-hour doorman and concierge; a glass-enclosed health club with a heated 60-foot swimming pool, sauna and steam room; 8,000-square-foot landscaped plaza; private valet parking; fitness room; and a playroom. Just a few steps from the front door, the end of 72nd Street features a curved seating area overlooking the river, while all the attractions of Upper East Side living are just around the corner.
