Description

A high floor East facing sun filled Terrace runs the length of this apartment which is currently configured as an extremely large one bedroom with 2 full baths. If one chooses there is room enough to create an office or second bedroom. The exceptionally large Living Room/Dining Area and adjacent Terrace lends itself to a very special entertaining space. It is pin drop quiet due to the newly installed state-of-the-art windows. The superb location on the block between Fifth and Madison Avenues gives one access to the full use and beauty of Central Park which is just steps away. The neighboring restaurants, cafes, boutique fashionable shops and tree lined blocks of private houses all lend itself to the intoxicating charm of this unique area.

Nestled among many adjacent blocks of coops, this condop, allows owners the flexability to rent their apartment whenever they choose and for as long as they like without restrictions. Because it is not a land lease building it is not subject to future maintenance increases from a land owner. It functions as a coop with condo rules, and therefore, it may be purchased in an LLC, Trust or Corporation and parents may buy for children as well as investors--- dogs, pied-a terre's are welcome. There is a live-in Superintendent, friendly 24 hour doormen, and handyman available at all times. The apartment comes with a designated storage bin in the basement, and there is use of a bike room and central laundry

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.
