Description
Simply gorgeous! 1BR/1BATH/2 BALCONIES This artfully designed one bedroom at the Cherokee offers a perfect blend of classic Pre War architectural elements and good taste. Inviting warmth greets you as you step inside with beautiful hardwood floors, and abundant natural light from two exposures. From the architectural interest and character of exposed brick, complemented by high ceilings, and sun from tall windows that enhance the sense of space, everything seems "just right." The living area feels airy and roomy with 2 built-in bookshelves as the perfect frame for your sofa and art work. The triple sashed, oversized windows are the central feature here. They open all the way up allowing you to step right out onto one of your two private balconies to enjoy stunning city and river views. You'll never want for natural sunlight or a breeze, with both northern and southern exposures ensuring an abundance of natural light and airflow throughout the day. The kitchen has been artfully designed to use every nook and cranny featuring a gas stove, a dishwasher and creative storage making meal preparation a breeze. The windowed bathroom has been tastefully updated, providing a serene retreat. Talk about views! Step out onto one of your two private balconies to unwind after a long day or enjoy your morning coffee, while looking out onto the East River watching the sunrise. You'll want to bring your own "touches" to personalize this place, but you'll agree it's really close to perfectly unique just the way it is. The Cherokee is a one of it's kind New York City treasure. Originally constructed in 1909 The Cherokee is composed of a remarkable series of 4 elegant courtyard buildings, focusing on natural lighting, ventilation, and beautifully detailed with fine materials unavailable to today's builders. The cooperative is managed by an onsite/ live in super and offers a central laundry room, free bike room and a package room and storage units are available for a nominal fee. This flexible cooperative allows parents purchasing, co-purchasing, guarantors, and immediate unlimited subletting. Monthly maintenance includes both Gas and Electric Note-Dishwasher can easily be replaced with Washer/Dryer combo: ask broker for details.

About Upper East Side
View All Upper East Side ListingsThe 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.
