Rare and Splendid. A one of a kind opportunity to own a turnkey junior penthouse on the 20th floor of a prewar UES Co-op. Located at the prime corner of 78th and Third, this artfully-designed, magazine-worthy, spacious 2-bed 2-bath apartment with custom built cabinetry throughout, has undergone an extensive renovation from newly-finished floors to a sleek open kitchen with grey hand painted cabinetry and Arabescato marble slabs. The stylish large living room with added crown moldings is centered by a wood burning fireplace that has been upgraded with a new hearth and mantle is perfect for entertaining. The master bedroom is tucked away from the living area, designed with full-height double closet doors with antique mirrors. Spacious corner 2nd bedroom enjoys two exposures, and has ensuite access to the full jack and jill bath with a window that also services as a powder room when you are entertaining. New medicine cabinets, a new vanity, sink and hardware in the master bath, and new Toto toilets in both baths.
