This elegant apartment features split bedrooms, master bedroom ensuite and a large second bedroom with double exposures that can easily be converted into an office. There are crown moldings, smooth ceilings with no popcorn, paneled doors, wood floors throughout and great closet space.

The 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.
