Description

BRIGHT, SPACIOUS and QUIET, this corner 2BR/1BTH home of nearly 1000sf has three (3) walk-in closets and is, by far, the best buy on the Upper East Side! Open the door to a gracious and generous 32' living/dining room, ideal for entertaining or just relaxing at home. Off to one side is a windowed eat-in kitchen as well as a good sized second bedroom/home office. Off to the other, are two walk-in closets and a primary bedroom that can easily accommodate a king-size bed. Throughout is C/A/C, thermal pane windows and floors in excellent condition. Especially appealing is the option of adding W/D and half bath (with Board approval). When the low maintenance is factored in, you know immediately that this is a great package.

But wait!! There's more. The River House, in excellent shape both fiscally and physically, is just steps from the 79th Street Promenade and Carl Schurz Park. It is a luxury, well-managed building with friendly staff and live-in resident manager. Included are: 24-hour attended garage, bike room and generous laundry room with new washers/dryers. Hallways, elevator cabs and main lobby have all been recently renovated without the need for an assessment. With Board approval, pets are welcome as are guarantors, gifting, and parents co-purchasing with children. This may be one of the most sound purchases you will ever make!!!

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.
