Description

Apartment 33E is a high-floor one-bedroom in a full-service condo located on the corner of 79th Street and 2nd Ave.

The north-facing apartment measures 615 square feet and provides open city views from the 33rd floor. The entry foyer consists of three oversized California style closets. The open kitchen features stainless steel appliances, wine cooler, and wine rack. The oversized bedroom, which also faces north, can easily accommodate a king size bed and contains another generous closet making a total of five closets throughout the apartment.

Continental Towers is a notable UES building with $3.4M in cash reserves and a fine reputation for low carrying costs. The current common charges ($550) and monthly taxes ($881) total $1,391 or $2.26 PSF. If the apartment were to be used as a primary residence (currently not the case), the total monthly costs would be reduced to $1,244 or $2.02 PSF.

The full-service and pet-friendly building features a state of the art fitness center, landscaped roof deck, laundry room, parking garage, and a staff of 27 professionals. It is in close proximity to Central Park, Carl Shurz Park, Uva, Penrose, Sant Ambroeus, and Serafina.

The Upper East Side remains the gold standard for classic New York elegance. Known for 'Museum Mile' and its low-traffic, tree-lined streets, the neighborhood offers a refined lifestyle away from the midtown bustle. While famous for its historic cooperatives, the area has seen a recent surge in ultra-luxury new construction condos, particularly along the Second Avenue Subway corridor, making it a top choice for both traditionalists and modern buyers.
