Description

Private patio, deluxe duplex, bilevel bathrooms in a quaint and charming CoOp.

This unique, spacious duplex, one-bedroom, one-and-a-half bathroom home has everything you could want in your NYC home including, a private patio! The main floor includes a spacious entry foyer (work-from-home space) with a custom closet, additional storage, and access to the half-bathroom plus renovated kitchen: perfect for entertaining. Through this entry-foyer you'll find the living and dining area with classic pre-war exposed brick, through-wall AC units, and two garden-facing full-sized windows. The current shareholder has installed a modern, remote-controlled ceiling fan/light fixture as well as built-in, custom wiring for the surround sound/ entertainment center; a fantastic opportunity for entertaining guests. The patio level includes the full-sized, extra-storage marble and granite bathroom as well as the spacious bedroom with a custom closet. The patio level hallway leads you to ANOTHER closet with custom shelving and a second entry with quick and convenient access to the building's modern laundry room.

This boutique and historic 34-unit CoOp has a veteran live-in super who takes pride in the cleanliness and upkeep of the building. The CoOp has healthy financials and caters to a variety of shareholders:
a beautifully landscaped garden for residents, guarantor-friendly, pied-a-terre's, family buying for family, and subleasing options after two-year occupancy. The building has a deal with Spectrum for the highest 400mb internet for each unit and is included in the maintenance. The board recently also voted NO on a flip tax.

The Q express train is a few blocks away and the 4-5-6 is just a short distance further. The area boasts popular stores such as Whole Foods, Sweetgreen, Chipotle, Fairway Market, Shack Shake, Bareburger, Urban Outfitters, Just Salad, and many more! You're also in close proximity to green spaces such as Carl Shurz Park, Central Park, John Jay Park, and Schnitzelplatz. This home is nestled between two of New York City's finest neighborhoods, Yorkville and Lenox Hill, with some of the most prestigious healthcare systems/ hospitals and universities nearby.

Why keep renting when you can buy this fantastic starter-NYC home? Or perhaps you're an empty-nester looking to downsize and still have your own outdoor space on the Upper East Side? Whatever your needs, this apartment has it all.

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.
