Description

Stunning Sun-flooded Studio This high floor, sun-flooded studio apartment is a rare find located in a prewar condominium in the heart of the UES. In immaculate condition, Apartment 15C has been meticulously planned to maximize space and light taking advantage of the glorious views north. A chic foyer with two large closets (one of which is a walk in) leads to a sophisticated living area with 3 oversized windows, ample seating, a desk/dining table and tasteful pullman kitchen. A cleverly designed sofa converts to a Murphy bed for sleeping and a custom retractable television is space-saving genius. Soaring ceilings, elegant built-in bookcases and dazzling ceramic floors provide glamorous accents to this stylish abode. The renovated windowed bathroom includes a spacious stall shower and heated towel rack. This apartment is suitable as an investment property, full time home or pied a terre residence. Ideally located between Lexington and Third Avenues, La Bourgogne, is a full service prewar condominium. It has an elegant lobby, 24 hour doormen, resident manager, renovated laundry room, and exquisite landscaped roof garden accessible by elevator. Pets, subletting, and pied a terres permitted. In addition to the common charges, there is an monthly assessment of $167.55

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.
