Description

This 6th-floor walk-up features south-facing, floor-to-ceiling windows that flood the space with natural light, giving it that elusive downtown loft feel—while being tucked away on a quiet, tree-lined block on the Upper East Side. It’s bright and open. Pre-finished parquet hardwood floors run seamlessly throughout. The kitchen is functional and positioned near a window for ventilation. The layout is smart, flexible, and surprisingly generous, offering a foyer, living room, dining nook, and a bedroom. Located in the Cherokee complex, the building features beautifully maintained courtyards, a live-in super, bike storage, central laundry, and a level of upkeep that quietly elevates day-to-day living. For investors—no sublet restrictions. Plus, you’re moments from Carl Schurz Park, across from John Jay Park, the East River promenade, and some of the best neighborhood amenities the Upper East Side has to offer.

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.
