Description

SHOWINGS BEGIN THE WEEK OF JANUARY 20TH. Get a Sneak Peek of this Coming Soon Gem! It is a fresh, impeccably renovated and magnificently charming one bedroom that has it all: size, style, light, versatility, condition, quiet. And at this time of year, you get a peek of the East River. You'll feel a sense of peace, power and pride as you arrive home, walking down the serene, tree lined block, past the friendly doorman, through the almost-but-not-quite-finished lobby, up the new elevator and down the just-renovated hallway. Enter your large and gracious entry gallery which boasts 2 closets (1 walk-in), and -- you've arrived! Aaahhhhhh. Ahead is a lovely, newly renovated kitchen, outfitted with lovely stainless steel appliances in excellent condition, a dishwasher and custom cabinetry. Flanking the gallery to the left is a spacious and well-proportioned living room and dining area, flooded with southern sunlight. The charming row of triple bay windows offers tree top views from which to meditate and contemplate your next move. The corner quiet bedroom has windows with southern and western exposures. A handsome windowed bathroom has modern updates, a deep full size bathtub, plus a hamper and an expansive closet. There are elegant pre-war details throughout, including high ceilings, crown moldings and hardwood oak floors. Gracie Gardens is a prestigious Pre-War co-op, consisting of four classic Deco buildings surrounding a beautifully landscaped resident's garden. On-site amenities include a laundry room, bike room, private storage and of course, the full time doorman and resident superintendent. You're only half a block to the expanse of the green, lush urban respite of Carl Schurz Park and the East River Promenade. The Wall Street express bus service is down the block, the crosstown and downtown buses are at the corner, and the Q train to Midtown, the West Side and beyond is only a few blocks away. A wide array of top shops and excellent restaurants are just around the corner. Easy access to the FDR Drive provide quick ingress and egress north. Pets are welcome. Pied-a-terres are permitted. 80% Financing is allowed. A must see!

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.
