Description

Spacious and sunny alcove studio in a lovely Upper East Side coop with low maintenance. Large windows face east, making this a very bright and cheery home. The eastern exposure is open to the East River, and beyond to Queens. This home has plenty of room for dining, a living room area, and a sleeping alcove with space for a queen bed plus two bedside tables, along with significant closet space. 301 East 78th Street is a stable full-service cooperative with laundry in the building, a live-in resident building manager, fitness room, and a bike room. Pets, gifting, guarantors, co-purchasing, and pied-a-terre use are allowed with board approval. There is an ongoing assessment of $68.09. Across the street from Orwasher's (best bread in NYC - perhaps the world!), this location is convenient to multiple transportation options, as well as the myriad of shopping and dining choices within the Upper East Side.

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.
