Description

Move right into this spacious, bright, and beautiful 2 bedroom home, located on the 14th floor of a full-service co-op on the Upper East Side. Enjoy open south-facing sunny views and abundant natural light throughout the day. The gracious entry gallery leads to an oversized living room with a separate dining alcove; this is presently converted into a second bedroom with two closets and it's own AC (this area can easily be restored back to a dining area). The renovated kitchen includes stainless steel appliances and a large pantry. The renovated bathroom has a bathtub and the very generous primary bedroom includes a large double closet. Also included in the apartment are 2 additional closets, solid wood floors and through-the-wall AC, available year-round. The Gregory House is a full-service, pet-friendly white glove co-op with a 24-hour doorman and live-in resident super. Residents enjoy easy access to transportation (Crosstown bus on East 79th Street, Second Avenue Subway Q line, Lexington Avenue 6 line, and FDR), restaurants, and multiple parks (East River Promenade, Carl Schurz Park, and John Jay Park) as well as proximity to some of the city's best schools. Other amenities include a landscaped roof terrace outfitted with furniture, a laundry room with brand new machines, a fitness center, a bike room, shared luggage storage, and on-site parking. 75% financing is permitted. Co-purchasing and pieds-a-terre are considered on a case-by-case basis, and subletting for a limited duration is permitted with board approval following several years of ownership. A W/D is not permitted in the apartment.

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.
