Description

Apartment 5C is an irresistibly charming one bedroom replete with the pre-war details of its early turn of the century heritage. Beautiful hardwood floors predominate throughout the space, further enhanced by lofty ceilings up to 9.5 feet in height.

There are also tables for dining or just enjoying a relaxing cocktail.This pre-war elevator coop was built in 1910 and is desirably located in the center of the Upper Eastside.

About Upper East Side

View All Upper East Side Listings

The Upper East Side remains the gold standard for classic New York elegance. Known for 'Museum Mile' and its quiet, 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.
