Apartment 8J – Sunny South-Facing Convertible Two-Bedroom with 20-Foot Living Room Set on the 8th floor of a beloved full-service cooperative in the heart of the Upper East Side, this bright and inviting one-bedroom residence enjoys sunny southern exposure, a generous layout, and storage throughout. A welcoming entry foyer with its own closet opens to the expansive living room, measuring over 20 feet long, with a wall of south-facing windows that fill the home with beautiful natural light throughout the day. The adjoining dining alcove comfortably accommodates a full dining table and offers the flexibility to serve as a home office or reading nook. Hardwood parquet floors run throughout, and through-the-wall air conditioning keeps the home comfortable year-round. The well-appointed kitchen features rich wood cabinetry, granite countertops and backsplash, stainless steel appliances including a GE gas range and GE dishwasher, an undermount sink, and plenty of cabinets.

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.

Broker Commission Disclosure: Broker commissions are not set by law and are fully negotiable.

How working with a buyer's agent works: I work for you, not the seller. Before I show you anything, New York brokerage rules ask us to put that in writing: an agreement and a disclosure that say I work for you and negotiate on your behalf. The agreement is non-exclusive: you can work with other agents, it runs for a short fixed term we agree on, and you can end it with a note. You may attend open houses independently without an agreement. Read how it works
