This bright and airy apartment has eastern and southern exposures that provide open city views and abundant natural light throughout the day.

The corner bedroom, which has a built-in closet, has double exposures facing south and east. The south-facing windowed bathroom with radiant floor heating is in excellent condition.

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.
