Description

Calling All Two-Bedroom Condo Buyers in the City!

Rare opportunity to find a mint condition two-bedroom/two-bathroom home at Maison East Condominium in the heart of the Upper East Side. Light abounds in this high floor residence featuring dual exposures (east & north), two balconies and the coveted washer and dryer at this elegant, boutique condo building.

The home has two very generous bedrooms. The corner primary bedroom is en-suite and features a large walk-in closet and private balcony. The second bedroom is on the north wing of the apartment and has a large closet and adjoining bathroom. There is also additional closet space in the hallway entrance to the bedroom.

The kitchen has been gut-renovated and expanded to include additional storage and counterspace along with high-end stainless steel appliances including a Wolf Stove and Hood system as well as a beautiful wine refrigerator. A large living and dining room area flows nicely into the kitchen making this apartment great for entertaining while also offering some privacy in the kitchen with its reimagined semi-enclosed design.

Large, quiet windows allow plenty of light to shine throughout the apartment. The home also features oak wood floors that have been sanded and stained.

Maison East is a boutique Condo with great personal service. The resident manager lives in the building, Crunch Signature gym is just next door, there is a bike room, storage, and a children's room. You can also go to Equinox on 85th Street and Soul Cycle just nearby. If you prefer to exercise in the park, you have two parks to choose from, not just one-Central Park and Carl Schurz.

The building boasts one of the best locations on the Upper East Side. Around the corner are the Q, 4,5,6 trains, crosstown buses on 79th or 86th Street.

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.
