The separate kitchen features wood cabinetry and full-size stainless steel appliances designed for both everyday ease and enjoyable cooking. The large bedroom provides a peaceful retreat with another oversized closet, while the bathroom offers a tub/shower and a modern vanity. Throughout the home, oversized windows enrich the bright, airy feel.

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.
