The Lucerne
Located on the southwest corner of 79th Street and First Avenue, The Lucerne is one of the most popular luxury rental buildings on Manhattan’s Upper East Side. Passing through the 24-hour staffed landscaped grounds framed by limestone pillars and wrought-iron fences, renters and guests are greeted by an elegant two-story lobby, always brightened by fresh flower arrangements. The 45-story building, with 236 one- to four-bedroom apartments, is known for its full suite of amenities, river and city views that reach Central Park, and the convenient parking garage, where spaces are guaranteed for residents.
The style is classic New York, with tastefully decorated corridors accented by designer alabaster lighting fixtures and wall sconces, crown moldings and decorative wood-framed apartment doors. Highlights include the line of three-bedroom duplex apartments, with two penthouse residences, one a duplex with a wraparound terrace, fireplace, solarium and a large eat-in kitchen, and the other a four-bedroom simplex with a greenhouse and large terrace.
The Lucerne features a gourmet Italian market on the ground floor, with a landscaped rooftop sun terrace above. The full suite of amenities on the second floor includes a lounge with a garden terrace and a kitchen, both of which can be reserved for private parties, fitness center, playroom, 55-foot lap pool with separate men’s and women’s locker rooms equipped with saunas, and an on-site management office. All but the standard one-bedroom apartments come with their own washer-dryers, with an additional laundry room on the second floor. Valet dry cleaning, housekeeping services, cable TV and Wi-Fi service from a selection of providers are also available.
Apartments come with oak or bamboo floors, windowed stainless steel kitchens with custom cabinetry, marble bathrooms with whirlpool tubs, and standard and walkin closets, each of which are designed with shelving to maximize space. Each of the three- and four- bedroom apartments have balconies – most with both river and city views.
“Here you get the flexibility of a one- or two-year lease, but with condo-level finishes and parking,” explained Stephen Bello, director of leasing. “Primary bedrooms are up to 18-feet across, with large en suite bathrooms with dual sinks, Jacuzzi tubs and separate showers, with nine-foot ceilings throughout. Coupled with the location, services, views, amenities and indoor parking – The Lucerne offers an attractive package that renters appreciate year after year.”
One-bedrooms start at $4,800 a month, with the duplex three-bedrooms starting at $11,000. For more information on Glenwood Management properties in New York City, visit glenwoodnyc.com, or call them at 212-535-0500. ❖
