Description

Cute alert!!! This is an adorable one-bedroom in well run Upper Eastside co-op. The building has a live-in super, elevator, storage room (very large lockers), laundry facility and is A-rated by the city for energy efficiency. The apartment has a modern style open kitchen with high ceilings and a separate bedroom. The bedroom, which is on the smaller side, is tucked in the back where it is very quiet. You are on the top floor of an elevator building so no neighbors above you. The apartment gets a lot of light with a north cityscape view with lots of sky. The air conditioning is through the wall in both the bedroom and living area. The bathroom has a window and shelves for linens. The apartment is in excellent shape. No need to renovate now, maybe sometime down the road. Again, really solid well managed building. The super has many years of experience. Superb managing agent. The roof, boiler and all the systems are in great shape. You only have five stories here so not subject to Local Law 11. Not only is this a very nice home but a fabulous investment. Please contact us for a private appointment or come to our first open house on Sunday April 7th, 2024 from 10:30 to 11:45am. Thank you.

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.
