Description

Your jaw will drop when you walk into this one-of-a-kind, exquisitely renovated Upper East Side one bedroom. Plus, LOW monthly maintenance.

No expense has been spared on apartment 5A. The open kitchen is pure perfection, outfitted with everything you could possibly ask for. Prep on your expansive Caesarstone countertops, cook with your stainless steel appliances, including Bertazzoni gas cooktops and oven with vented hood, dishwasher, refrigerator, built-in microwave and, of course, store your Merlots or Cabernets in your very own wine fridge. Plentiful light grey cabinetry offers an abundance of storage, and a spacious peninsula countertop design makes both dining and entertaining a breeze.The adjacent living room has a distinct air of luxury. Southern sun lights the tranquil space, and you can enjoy the city views atop your wall-to-wall, tufted window-seat with matching window treatments. Additionally, there's absolutely no doubt you'll be taken by the magnificent floor to ceiling custom 'Faux Travertine' finished fireplace. It is stunning. Restful nights await you in the bedroom. It is pin-drop quiet as it faces the back of the building. A huge walk-in closet will fit all of your belongings, and if you happen to be one who likes to bike the nearby parks, wall-mount bicycle storage is already in place.Finishing off the picture here is a spa-like bathroom, complete with glass stall shower, beautiful vanity and excellent storage. A fine selection of elegant light fixtures is sprinkled throughout the apartment. This is one of those apartments you simply do not want to miss.

505 E. 83rd Street is a well-maintained co-op with on-site laundry room. The building is located on a quiet, tree-lined street that is just a few short blocks from the 2nd Avenue subway line with an entrance ON 83rd Street. You are a hop, skip and a jump from all that the Upper East Side has to offer, including Carl Schurz Park, Gracie Mansion, 82nd Street Farmer's Market, and a plethora of phenomenal restaurants, shops and more.

The 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.
