Erected in 1992, the Monterey is a luxury New York rental designed by the famed Costas Kondylis, which is immediately apparent upon viewing the gorgeous curved facade of the building. The landscaped entrance features a marquee, underneath which a uniformed doorman greets residents as they arrive. Once inside the 29-story building, the residents are immediately met with the sleek and elegant lobby, just one of the Monterey's many beautiful public spaces.
The beauty of the Monterey isn't limited just to its exterior or its public spaces. It continues to the luxuriously appointed apartments, as well. The residences feature glorious floor-to-ceiling windows that light up the luminous hardwood flooring. The many conveniences in the units include high-speed internet, self-controlled heat and air, spacious closets, and stackable washer and dryer. Many residences include a terrace or balcony. Kitchens are fully outfitted with a suite of stainless steel appliances, granite countertops and wooden cabinetry. Baths feature soaking tubs and marble accents.
The Monterey is a New York rental with plenty to offer its residents. Services include 24-hour concierge, doorman, lobby attendant, laundry and valet services and a full-service garage. There's also a fitness center, health club, pool, bike room, lounge, children's room, and video security. The lush private garden offers BBQ facilities, and there’s a landscaped sundeck, as well.
The Monterey is set in a large landscaped plaza in the Upper East Side. The building is close to several playgrounds and is very convenient to public transportation, many fine private schools and cultural and religious institutions.
