Description

Top floor South facing artist's studio in a renovated elevator coop on a prime block in the Upper East Side. Absolutely drenched in sunlight and character, unit 5H presents an incredible value with a maintenance fee of only $775. Several features highlight this home amongst others: tree top view, a skylight in the bathroom, pristine mosaic hardwood floors, 2 large closets, custom built-in shelving, a through-wall air conditioner, a pass through kitchen with granite counter, and a vintage royal rose oven valued at approximately $3,600. This charming pre-war building is pet-friendly and offers its residents a live-in Superintendent, video intercom, common laundry, storage, and bike storage. Most purchase structures accepted and flexible sublet policy after two years of living-in. Positioned around the corner from the Q and the M72 bus going directly across town, as well as only 3 blocks from the 6, 321 E 71st St could not be a more convenient location and more in the heart of all that is happening in the neighborhood.

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.
