Adjacent to the living room, there is a bonus room that works well as a 2nd bedroom separated by retractable shoji screens. The renovated, windowed kitchen is a chef's dream: lots of maple wood cabinets, granite countertops, stainless steel appliances, wine fridge, new 5-burner stove and new dishwasher. There is even room for a breakfast nook to enjoy morning coffee and the view. Down the hall from the foyer, the bedroom is very generous in size with the bathroom conveniently located for both personal and guest use. Apartment 5A is a terrific layout with incredible value; Junior 4 apartments like this don't come around often!

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.
