Description
Set within one of the city’s more architecturally distinctive prewar cooperatives, this beautifully bright one-bedroom residence offers an ideal opportunity for first-time buyers, professionals, and investors. Bathed in natural light, the home has been exceptionally loved and blends classic prewar charm with modern updates. Three oversized windows—two of them floor-to-ceiling—along with two private balconies overlook the quiet, tree-lined street below, distinguishing this home with a rare, Parisian charm. Gleaming hardwood floors run throughout, while the inviting eat-in kitchen is designed for effortless entertaining, featuring granite pass-through countertops, extra bar seating, and thoughtfully integrated appliances including a washer/dryer, dishwasher, and built-in microwave. The bedroom enjoys abundant natural light, offers ample closet storage, and opens directly onto a private balcony. Located directly across from John Jay Park and the East River Esplanade in Lenox Hill, The Cherokee, built in 1909, is a landmark cooperative comprised of four elegant courtyard buildings with large windows and richly detailed architecture. The building is pet friendly, and offers an on-site, live-in superintendent, attentive staff, central laundry, bike storage, and a package room. The co-op is extremely well-managed with strong financials, allows parents purchasing, co-purchasing, guarantors, and investors, and monthly maintenance fees conveniently include gas and electricity.

About Upper East Side
View All Upper East Side ListingsThe 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.
