Property Details
Description
An elegant Upper East Side apartment perched on the top floor of a landmarked Beaux-Arts co-op, this sun-splashed 1-bedroom, 1-bathroom home is a rare opportunity for investors and fixer-uppers alike. New oversized floor-to-ceiling Georgian windows, beautifully stained original parquet floors, and two private balconies are thoughtful details that provide the perfect base for any design style. The home includes double exposure, airy 9-ft ceilings, a Juliet balcony facing a quiet courtyard, and a private balcony with views of John Jay Park and the East River. Past a tasteful entryway adorned with a coat closet and full bathroom, the home flows into a spacious living and dining room saturated with natural light. The galley-style kitchen is equipped with updated stainless-steel appliances and large cabinets, and the windowed bathroom has convenient built-in storage and clean white tiles. The bedroom has its own closet and private balcony. An additional storage closet in the living room completes the home. The Cherokee is a beautiful Beaux Arts landmark situated in a quiet residential enclave on the Upper East Side. The area exudes old world charm and is infused with an elegant European ambiance. Plenty of restaurants, bars, cafes, and shops are within walking distance, and the 6-subway line is 6 blocks away. Residents of the building enjoy a landscaped courtyard, a live-in super, bicycle and package rooms, central storage, and a brand-new laundry room. The Cherokee allow pieds-a-terre, investors, parents buying for children, co-purchasing, and has a liberal sublet policy. Great as permanent residence, pied-a-terre, or investment property. Pets are welcome.

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.
