  • Description
  • Former Home of Robert Kennedy with Iconic Views Step into history with this remarkable corner residence offering approximately 2,000 SF* of expansive living with walls of windows that frame unobstructed, sweeping views of the East River, Queens, Brooklyn, and Manhattan. This 2-bedroom (convertible to 3), 3-bathroom home combines scale, flexibility, and timeless charm- ready to be transformed into a modern dream home. Every room offers open views, providing a rare opportunity to craft a modern dream home while honoring its historic 1960s character. Enter through a grand foyer into a corner living area designed to impress, featuring floor-to-ceiling windows and over 32 feet of living space flooded with natural light. The original galley kitchen, with its vintage 1960s appliances, exudes mid-century charm while including a cozy eat-in nook with stunning south-facing vistas. Adjacent, the home office provides a flexible space that can function as a formal dining room or be enclosed to serve as a third bedroom, depending on your needs. Bedrooms are thoughtfully separated from the living areas for maximum privacy. The primary bedroom overlooks the lush grounds of the United Nations and the East River, featuring an en-suite bathroom and three closets, including a generous walk-in. The second bedroom also enjoys breathtaking south-facing views and has a full bathroom just across the hall. An additional full bath near the entry doubles as a convenient powder room for guests.
