Description
BUILDING AND LOCATION
Why rent when you can own this charming one bedroom in a beautifully managed walk-up cooperative on the Upper East Side. 229 East 81st Street is moments away from the best the neighborhood has to offer: Gourmet food shops, restaurants, gyms, a new neighborhood recreation center as well as ease of access to the new Q train on Second Avenue.
THE RESIDENCE
Both the living room and bedroom of this cheerful apartment have bright southern tree-lined exposures. Enormous paned windows allow for abundant sunlight throughout the entire apartment. 10 foot beamed ceilings and exposed brick walls add character and spaciousness. The bedroom comfortably fits a king size bed and the living area allows for both a sitting area as well as a dining area. And all only one flight up.
229 East 81st, also known as Canterbury Mews, is an impeccably maintained, unique two-building coop on a prime, tree-lined Upper East Side block. The building features a live-in super and a private landscaped patio for shareholders. Guarantors, parents buying for or with children permitted. Sorry, no dogs.

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 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.
