Description

Apartment 3B is a bright, pin-drop quiet 1-bedroom home with an immaculate and beautifully renovated kitchen, a hallway accessible renovated bathroom and phenomenal closet space. Gently lived in, this home offers a thoughtful layout and large proportions throughout.

Entering through a dedicated foyer, you move into an expansive entertaining room and gallery with wall-to-wall windows facing North onto the tree-filled garden below. At more than 21' deep, the combination living room and dining area offers a seamless space to lounge or entertain, and to comfortably work from home as well. There is a huge walk-in storage closet in the gallery as well as an additional closet near the entry.

Gut renovated and hardly used, the kitchen is modern in function and design, perfected with soapstone counters, clean, white cabinetry with self-closing doors and drawers, polished porcelain tile floors in a soothing sandy hue and a decorative glass tile backsplash. Outfitted with new stainless steel appliances including a 32" Blomberg refrigerator with freezer drawer, Bosch Silence Plus 44" dishwasher and GE Cafe 5-burner stove and microwave, this kitchen has it all to delight any chef.

The bedroom is big and bright with wall-to-wall picture windows also facing North and two oversized closets. Exterior to the bedroom and adjacent the kitchen, the bathroom has been fully renovated with floor-to-ceiling stone walls, basket-weave marble floors and marble counters atop a deep wood vanity. There is also a bathtub with glass enclosure and a recessed product niche as well as a built-in hamper.

Additional features include oak parquet floors in excellent condition, crown and baseboard moldings throughout and through-wall air conditioning.

311 East 71st Street is a wonderful full-service building constructed in 1962 and converted to cooperative in 1984. Amenities include a doorman, a live-in resident manager, a full-service garage, central laundry and private storage. Pieds-a-terre are permitted, and gifting and co-purchasers are considered on a case-by-case basis. Conveniently located just one block from the new Second Avenue Q subway line, residents are also just blocks from the Park Avenue Armory, Equinox, the new Target on Third Avenue, marvelous boutique shopping and countless fabulous restaurants including La Esquina, T-Bar, JG Melon, Jean Claude 2, 5 Napkin Burger and many more. Sorry, pets are not permitted.

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.
