Gut renovated and completely reconfigured legal 1 bedroom that is truly 'turn-key' from top to bottom. The focal point of this designer apartment is the open kitchen, which was expanded to feature a generously sized quartz countertop island, continuous quartz backsplash, full size appliances (30' LG Gas Oven, 20' GE Dishwasher and 28' Blomberg Refrigerator with Ice Making Machine), custom pantry closet, double high custom cabinets, and under-cabinet LED lighting. The well-laid out living room/dining room combination is graced with strong southern sunlight and a quiet exposure in the back of the building distanced from 79th Street. The highlights continue with the expanded bathroom appointed with floor to ceiling asian statuary marble tile, herringbone marble floors, custom vanity with quartz sink-top, recessed medicine cabinet, custom frameless shower door, and Kohler 'Purist' shower system. The bedroom has been enlarged to comfortably accommodate a queen size bed, end table, and an efficient closet with bifold door. Additional highlights include: all new white oak hardwood flooring throughout, 4 total closets (all expanded) with crystal-like door hardware, single panel custom shaker style wood doors, through the wall AC, recessed soffit LED lighting with Lutron dimmers, and hard-wired Nest CO/Smoke Detector.

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.
