Description
Fully Gut-Renovated High-Floor One-Bedroom with SUPER LOW monthly charges in prime UES. Perched on a high floor in the heart of the Upper East Side, this truly unique south-facing one-bedroom residence is flooded with an abundance of direct sunlight throughout the day. This home has undergone a complete, top-to-bottom gut renovation and offers one of the finest finishes in the building. Every detail was thoughtfully redesigned — including all new electrical, plumbing, walls, flooring, kitchen, and bathroom finishes — creating a seamless blend of modern luxury and comfort. Door frames were raised throughout to enhance ceiling height and create a more open, spacious feel. Dimmers on every light switch allow for customized ambiance, while additional outlets have been strategically installed for convenience. The windowed kitchen is beautifully appointed with quartz countertops, high-end hardware, and premium Bosch and Fisher & Paykel appliances, including a Bosch refrigerator with built-in water and ice maker, dishwasher, and built-in microwave. Under-cabinet lighting on both sides adds warmth and functionality. The bathroom features three mirrored medicine cabinets offering exceptional storage, along with refined, contemporary finishes. New flooring runs throughout the apartment, complemented by upgraded closet shelving and lighting. The bedroom includes a ceiling fan for added comfort, and designer sconces and ceiling fixtures throughout the home will remain. The bright exposure enhances the open feel and highlights the exceptional finishes throughout. Adding to its appeal are remarkably low monthly charges, making this not only a stunning home but also an exceptionally smart investment opportunity. A rare opportunity to own a meticulously renovated, sun-drenched, move-in-ready residence in a prime Upper East Side location. Continental Towers is a distinguished full-service luxury condominium in the heart of the Upper East Side. The building offers a refined blend of classic Manhattan living and thoughtful amenities designed for everyday comfort. Residents enjoy 24-hour doorman and concierge service, a live-in superintendent, on-site fitness center, central laundry facilities, private storage, and an expansive landscaped roof deck with panoramic city views — perfect for relaxing and entertaining. Additional conveniences include on-site parking and beautifully modernized common areas.

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.
