Description
Newly renovated and beautifully appointed, this oversized one-bedroom northwest corner apartment at the landmarked Cherokee affords an elegant European feel in a prime Upper East Side location! Enjoy tree-top and partial river views, refreshing breezes, and your own slice of serenity from your private outdoor balcony situated right outside the bedroom's tall triple-hung windows. The gracious interiors are just as alluring, with high ceilings creating airiness, brand new windows (most floor-to-ceiling) inviting in generous light, hardwood floors adding warmth and character, and refined modern finishes affording luxury throughout. Entertain or relax in the spacious living space set adjacent to a fabulous new windowed kitchen with an open dining area and stunning elements for such as ample cherry wood cabinetry, sleek countertops, glass mosaic tile backsplash, and stainless steel appliances. The full bath has also been impeccably renovated with beautiful tile work, built-in storage and a marble shower stall. The sizable bedroom enriched by charming painted brick walls is a perfect place to unwind, with access to the balcony and a large walk-in closet for your belongings. This gem is just 5 flights up, with a washer and dryer in your foyer! The architecturally magnificent Cherokee is a gorgeous prewar Beaux-Art building adjacent to John Jay Park. Amenities include a live-in super, video intercom system, central laundry room, bike room and common storage. The monthly maintenance of $1372 includes gas and electricity in this one-of-a-kind building with an enchanting old-world ambiance and lovely planted courtyards. For more outdoor space, and an escape from the bustle of city life, right outside your door awaits John Jay Park and swimming pool, and the East River Promenade at the end of the tree-lined block. Plus there are great shops and restaurants close by. Pied-a-terres, investors, guarantors, and parents buying for/with children are allowed. Flexible sublet policy and pet-friendly!

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 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.
