This updated home offers a perfect blend of modern comfort and urban convenience. 2A is a pin-drop quiet apartment that faces North with views of the beautiful flowering trees and courtyard for the building. There are hardwood floors throughout, and three large closets in the apartment, creating ample storage space. Radiator heat ensures your apartment will never be cold in the winter, and is included in your extremely low monthly maintenance. Upon entering, you'll be greeted by a charming foyer, complete with a coat closet, and room for additional storage, or a bench for putting on your shoes. As you continue into the apartment, you’ll find a large living area, with ample wall space, giving you flexibility and options for your apartment’s layout. Off the living area, there is a windowed alcove that has a number of possible uses. Currently set up as a bright home office, this space easily lends itself to other uses such as a dining room, extension of the kitchen, or additional storage. There is the option to open the kitchen to create a pass through or breakfast bar. There is a separate dressing room off the bathroom, with a large, mirrored linen closet. The bathroom is well-proportioned and features a vanity with storage, as well as a tub and shower combo.

Alternatively, the building has negotiated a discounted rate for Spectrum TV and Internet if you wish to opt in. This elevator building is pet-friendly and allows up to 75% financing, subletting, co-purchasing, gifting, and parents buying for children. The building just completed a refresh of the common spaces, so the hallways and lobby are now bright and modern. Ideally located, this building is surrounded by all the neighborhood conveniences you could want. There is great access to transportation, as you’re close to a number of subway and bus lines, Citi Bike stations, and the 90th Street Ferry Stop. You’re also 2 blocks from the FDR. Nearby amenities include grocery stores such as Agata & Valentina, D’Agostino, and Morton Williams, the Carl Schurz Dog Run, as well as popular gyms like Equinox, New York Sports Club, and Crunch Fitness.

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.
