The Georgica project is growing rapidly, so far, the stunning glass tower has 17 stories. This modern Manhattan family-friendly condo is strategically placed between First and Second Avenue.  The building is close to excellent schools, liberal shopping and dining facilities and just a stroll away from Central Park and Carl Schurz Park.  The Georgica received its name from prestigious Georgica Pond in East Hampton Village.  The tower’s glass exterior that’s currently being placed will provide an ample supply of natural bright lighting.

Once the project is complete, many residences will have private terraces and the master bedrooms will have floor-to-ceiling windows.  The spacious living and dining room will have stunning views overlooking the East River …perfect for entertaining guests.  The walls will be eggshell toned and the floors finished in white oak herringbone.  One great added feature —a select few residences are planned to come equipped with limestone fireplaces.

In the bedroom: The two bedroom units will have oversized master bedrooms with a dressing room or a split bedroom.  The square footage will range between 1,250 – 1,900 sq. ft.

The three bedrooms will encompass great foyers and masters suite with sitting areas with tons of walk-in closet space.  A few units will have an option for a library or additional family room.  Space wise? You’re looking at around 1,700 to 2,350 ft.

The four bedroom will have similar features but with a split floor plan that will have a long hallway leading to three bedrooms with a smaller foyer going into a living area.  Another appealing feature is the fourth bedroom off the kitchen; this can be transformed into another living area.  Each floor will only house 2-4 units to ensure privacy.  The larger four bedroom units will be located on the higher floors and will only contain two units on each floor.

In the kitchen: Calacata gold marble on the counters tops—appliances by Miele and Marvel wine coolers.  The chic herringbone floors connect the kitchen and family room.

Master bath & second bath interior: The master bath will have glass mosaic walls, a Verde Antiqua marble vanity and heated flooring.  The fixtures include Waterworks, Kohler and Toto. The second bathroom walls and floors are done in Zebrano Essenza Bianco stone.  And Bianco Dolomiti marble flooring in the shower.

Amenities:   A full service building with a 24hr doorman, 24hr concierge, elevators, extensive fitness center, fully landscaped roof deck, a refrigerated package room, adult lounge, children’s playroom and playground (enclosed with extra-high glass windscreen for supervision and maximum security).

Pets: Allowed

City Attractions: This area is saturated with plenty of retail outlets, cafes and restaurants. The building is close to notable retail stores such as Barnes & Nobel, Circuit City and Best Buy.

Subway & Bus Info: The closest transportation is located at two avenues from the Nos. 4, 5 and 6 trains and close to bus lines (M101, M15 and M86). Taxi cabs are also available.

We give The Georgica an over all two-thumbs-up. The condo is in a great location plus it has excellent amenities, features and as far as pricing – this is a great buy.
