1349 Lexington Ave, APT 5E

Move right in. This is the first resale of 5E, a lovingly restored classic six in The Paulding, a timeless, elegant, 10 story coop in the heart of Carnegie Hill. Built in 1921 by Maynicke & Franke, the original floor-plan is intact, with all walls skim-coated and the gorgeous oak floors refinished. Soaring 10 foot ceilings and original features, like picture moldings, a wood-burning fireplace and French Doors opening to a formal dining room complete the pre-war picture, and the fact that washer/dryers are allowed makes it irresistible. The kitchen has been smartly updated with an LG refrigerator and professional Premier six burner stove. Similarly, the bathrooms have been updated, but not reconfigured. Other assets include a 24 hour doorman, a resident manager, a lovely private garden off of the lobby, a roof deck, storage in the basement that transfers with the apartment, bike storage and a playroom. 5E is a perfect turn-key apartment or an unspoiled canvas for the architecturally adventurous. Did I mention that washer/dryers are allowed? Look no further. This is the one.
