Description

ONE BEDROOM WITH A SOUTHERN VIEW under $600K

Located at East 72nd Street, this large one bedroom apartment offers breathtaking south-facing skyline views from the 21st floor. The Fontaine, a full-service Co-op permits pied-a-terre, subletting with board approval, guarantors, gifting, co-purchasing and trusts, and allows pets.

Apartment 21B presents 30ft long southern exposures, bright light all day long and miles of Manhattan views from oversized windows in the living room and the bedroom. While it is in the move-in condition, the property is priced well for the new owner who may want the cosmetic upgrade project.

The living room offers a generous size lounge area, dining space and a large closet. It also provides a flexible option to create a home office or nursery. The open kitchen includes plenty of cabinets and a dishwasher. The bedroom is large enough to fit a king-size bed and has a walk-in closet which is rare for NYC's one bedroom apartment. It is complemented across the hall by a full-size bathroom. This home also has additional storage in the hallway and through-wall HVAC throughout. A garbage chute on every floor in the building.

The building offers a beautifully landscaped front garden and a renovated lobby, where you will be greeted by the courteous 24 hour doorman. The amenities include a common roof deck, laundry room, gym, bike room and storage room in the basement. With two elevators, a live-in super, and only four one bedroom apartments per floor, this free-standing tower building creates a friendly and private community for all residents. The building has no assessment and flip tax is $135/share ($15,795 for #21B).

The Fontaine is conveniently located one block from the modern Q train station, a cross-town express bus at its doorstep, and easy access to the 6-train, Central Park, Museum Mile, East River Promenade and John Jay park, world-class medical facilities, and many restaurants and shops.

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.
