Description

Welcome to The Richmond Condominium and the very special Apartment 23A. It is not often that you have this rare opportunity to own a full-floor tower home in such an iconic building. With approximatelyt 3,500 square feet and open views from every room, you will feel like you are standing outside at the top of the world.

Exit the elevator onto your private floor. The apartment has a double entry with open North views down a long hallway into the entry foyer. Step into the massive main living/entertaining expanse with a grand-scale living room, dining room and den all open across the entire length of the floor. Open views greet you all the way around West and South with floor to ceiling windows and two balconies. The ambiance is warm and welcoming with dark wood floors and lovely lighting. The dining room is separated from the kitchen by a unique architecturally designed wine cabinet. The kitchen is a great size for multiple cooks. Two large east facing windows highlight the L-shaped counter space and prep areas. There is generous storage and a large pantry. Near the den is a bar area and a charming breakfast nook with North facing window. Just off the bar area is a bedroom with en-suite bath. There is a suite of two additional bedrooms just off the dining room and kitchen. This suite can be closed off with double doors for privacy. The two large bedrooms each have en-suite baths and multiple views. The double size primary suite is tucked in a private and quiet side of the apartment and has spectacular open views. This suite has its own sitting room, 3 closets, one a giant walk-in, and a five-fixture primary bath with double sink vanity and separate bath and shower. Close by the primary suite is an uber-stylish powder room. There is also a laundry area with full size washer and dryer and space for all your cleaning supplies.

The original floor plan was architecturally reimagined in the most amazing way. General features include 9" ceilings with floor to ceiling double-pane windows, dark hardwood floors, through-wall air conditioning and heating, two private balconies and all 4 exposures-West, East, South and North. A bonus is a very large storage closet in the service area just outside the apartment. You are free to decorate your elevator landing however you wish.

The prestigious Richmond Condominium is strategically located on the Upper East Side at the crossroads of East 80th Street and Third Avenue. It is a classically designed condominium built in 1996 on a grand scale with 24 floors and 101 original apartments. There is a beautifully appointed lobby with a 24-hour concierge and doorman. The seasoned live-in resident superintendent plus other staff members are at your service. Other amenities include the 18th floor beautifully landscaped roof terrace with panoramic views and barbeque grills, bike room and storage. Nestled in the heart of the Upper Eastside, the prime location offers residents top shopping destinations and an array of dining establishments. Museum Mile is just a few blocks away, and both Central and Carl Shurz Park. And you can get around the city quite easily on both the Lexington 6 train, the Q train and the crosstown bus on East 79th Street.

This is the perfect opportunity. We would love to show you this lovely home.
