Description

NO BOARD APPROVAL, CONDO RULES, INVESTOR FRIENDLY. This is a fabulous 1BR home with lots of blue sky, beautiful tree line views and sun flooding in through its east-facing wall of windows. Not only does this apartment have a great vista from the fifth floor, it is also quiet, which is hard to find in the city. The living room is one of the larger ones for a one-bedroom in this building and has built-in work-space for your files and computer. The pass-through kitchen with breakfast bar has tons of storage and counter space, and looks over the living room, making the entire apartment bright all day. There is a marble bath, customized closets, and hardwood floors throughout. The America, built in 1987 as a condop, is a premier luxury, full-service building. It has condo policies and is amenity filled. It offers a health club with new equipment, pool, sauna, party room, and bike room - all at no cost to the residents! There is a washer/dryer on every floor of the building and a small garage with a wait-list. The building allows unlimited subletting, you may purchase as an LLC, guarantors, pied-a-terres, and pets are welcome.This well-managed building with full time doorman/concierge and a resident manager is in a prime Upper East Side location - just down the block from the new Q line (to the theatre district, Herald Square, Union Square and Brooklyn), and minutes away from the 4,5,6 Lexington Ave line with crosstown, north and southbound buses within a block. It is close to fantastic shopping, movie theatres, coveted food markets (Wholefoods, Fairway), and the best parks the city has to offer (Central Park and Carl Schurz). Building allows 80% financing.

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.
