Description

  • QUIET & CALM SUN DRENCHED OVERSIZED EAST FACING 1B1B PRIME UPPER EAST SIDE

    Just listed on the Upper East Side, this sun filled residence offers exceptional scale, eastern light, and a layout that makes one bedroom living feel effortless. Offering gracious proportions throughout, this oversized one bedroom coop is ideally positioned between Park and Lexington Avenues with open city views and an airy expansive feel. The residence delivers a rare combination of space, light, and livability.

    THE RESIDENCE

    A wide, welcoming gallery foyer immediately sets the tone, offering an impressive sense of openness. The thoughtfully designed layout unfolds into a sun filled living room with ample space for both relaxing and entertaining, flowing seamlessly into a dedicated dining area that comfortably accommodates full sized furnishings. The windowed kitchen offers excellent functionality while maintaining a natural connection to the living spaces.

    The serene and generously scaled primary bedroom is a true retreat, featuring an ensuite bathroom. Storage is a standout feature of this home, with four walk-in closets, one alcove large enough to easily function as a private home office, dressing room, or flex space, making it especially appealing for those transitioning from a larger residence.

    Set on a quiet, tree lined block, the building is just moments from Madison Avenue shopping, Central Park, and a wide array of everyday conveniences including supermarkets, gourmet food shops, pharmacies, fitness studios, and neighborhood services.

    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.
