200 East 65th Street
residence description
perched high above lenox hill, this expansive 2-bedroom, 2.5-bath home at the bristol plaza offers 1,366 square feet of well-proportioned living space, enhanced by rare 10-foot ceilings—an uncommon luxury for a building of this era. a true corner layout, the apartment features open south and east exposures that bring in steady natural light throughout the day. the oversized kitchen is a standout—exceptional in scale and offering ample storage and counter space, with the opportunity for a future owner to personalize. both bedrooms are generously sized, and the apartment includes a sizable entry foyer and powder room for added convenience. while the home would benefit from thoughtful updating, the fundamentals—ceiling height, layout, and views—are exceptional.
views & atmosphere
few apartments offer a vantage point quite like this one. sunrises over the east river unfold each morning across the living room windows, and at night the 59th street bridge becomes an illuminated focal point that feels almost cinematic. the combination of elevation, openness, and quiet creates a rare sense of calm above the city. it’s a home that serves equally well for quiet mornings, lively dinners, or simply watching the skyline shift throughout the day.
