The Lexington Suite offers the unique advantage of two high-perched but radically diverging views, from the front and the back of this full-floor suite. From the front, the picture is of tops of townhouses not unlike 1871 House, water towers rising above them, and a few larger, more recent apartment buildings reaching up beyond them at the fringes. A look through the window in one of the Lexington Suite's back bedrooms presents, instead, the figure of fully realized modernity, with a few of the soaring skyscrapers of Midtown, including the just-completed new addition to the NYC skyline, the enormous residential building at 432 Park Avenue. The apartment is furnished with 2 queen beds (one in the largest room of the apartment looking out at East 62nd) and one in the larger back room of the apartment facing the back of the building and overlooking the Garden Terrace and neighboring gardens. Adjacent to the the rear bedroom, there is a small but separate room that can be used as a dining room/office. It is furnished with a table and chairs.

The apartment does not have an intercom/buzzer system.

One of the queen beds is in the living room.

Household supplies for use in the apartment e.g. a/c's, vacuum, fan, etc. are stored in the closets of the apartment.

Garden Room terrace photos are representative of how the garden and plants appear in warm weather months. Guests booking for dates in the late Fall, Winter and early Spring months will observe the garden terrace looking different from the photos as plants are not blooming and shrubs have lost their leaves.

Spring cleaning and maintenance of the terrace takes place in later May as the temperature gets warmer.
