Freshly renovated and re-imagined, this north-facing two bedroom two bathroom home on the first floor of a beautifully maintained, pet-friendly full-service co-op is a truly special slice of the Upper East Side — with newly refinished one-of-a-kind white oak custom floors, fresh paint, and additional high-end finishes that far exceed the price point.
Enter through this corner unit’s front door and you are immediately greeted with a gracious layout. Just beyond the entry foyer is the dining area that leads into the sprawling open living room. The living area looks out onto serene tree-lined 84th Street. This apartment boasts two spacious bedrooms -- with the primary offering two large custom built closets by California Closets, including a walk-in closet and a separate outfitted dressing room located through the primary bathroom. You will also find an amazing rain shower in the primary bathroom as well as Carrera marble tile and fixtures from Restoration Hardware. Custom bookshelves line the second bedroom allowing for several options — the space will accommodate a king sized bed plus additional furniture for a proper bedroom setup, a den/library, or a home office/guest room.
The renovated kitchen is separate with stainless steel appliances including a KitchenAid dishwasher, Sub-Zero refrigerator, and ample cabinet space that is ceiling height. On the opposite side of the kitchen is a full laundry room/closet with a washer/dryer and a separate sink for convenience. Also notable are the 9-foot ceilings throughout this home that create an even more open and airy feel.
Through the wall air conditioning is already installed with no need to obstruct the windows. Verizon FiOs is supported.
The Claiborne House is excellently managed, with all essential services — recently upgraded elevators, well-kept laundry facility, lending library, bike storage, and (wait-listed) private parking — maintained with care by a superb staff, including a 24-hour doorman and on-site super.
The location is Yorkville’s best — just two blocks from the Q train and two blocks from Carl Schurz Park. In a five block radius, you also have access to Fairway and Whole Foods and local farmers’ markets.
Minimum down payment is 25%. Classic co-op rules (no pied-à-terres, no subletting), though co-purchasing and pets welcome. There is a 2% transfer fee paid by the Buyer.
