Property Details
Description
This gem of a 3-bedroom 2-bathroom apartment combines an impeccable contemporary renovation with one of the most charming buildings in all of NYC. The apartment receives incredible light from its floor-to-ceiling triple sash windows that open directly onto four spacious balconies perched above East 78th street. The high ceilings, open layout, bleached oak floors, and pocket doors create an airy living space with great flow among the different rooms. The windowed kitchen features top-of-the-line appliances (Miele, Fisher & Paykel, and Bosch) and seamless granite countertops. Other notable features of the apartment include an integrated surround sound system, in-unit washer and gas dryer, recessed lighting, and extensive built-in bookcases and shelving.
The primary bedroom is spacious and bright, with its private balcony, a Venetian Plaster finished wall and an en-suite bath with wall-to-wall Turkish Marble. At the opposite end of the apartment, there are two additional bedrooms, one of which has a custom-built loft-bed and can be turned into an office/guest room. All rooms have ample closets, exposed brick, and numerous historical details.
The four buildings of the Landmarked Cherokee Cooperative offer beautiful archways, Guastavino tiles, and landscaped courtyards. The apartments are all walk-ups, accessed from gorgeous open stairwells. The coop has exceptional financials, a terrific staff (including a live-in-super), and fantastic amenities such as a laundry room, bike room, secured package room, and individual storage cages. The building is pet-friendly, investor-friendly, allows 80% financing and flexible subletting. It permits pieds-a-terre and has no flip tax. The maintenance includes all utilities except cable/internet.
The building is located in an intimate part of the Upper East Side and steps away from John Jay Park (featuring an Olympic-sized swimming pool) and a public library. There is an array of shops and restaurants in the surrounding neighborhood.

About Upper East Side
View All Upper East Side ListingsThe 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.
