This elegant 5 room apartment awaits your creative renovation. Walk into the spacious entrance hall and see the sunny living room on the left with southern exposure and charming views of the facades of 19th century town houses.

There are two full bathrooms plus a powder room. The formal dining room could also be a 3rd bedroom or study. A wide windowed kitchen and pantry area complete the apartment. Washer/dryers are permitted. Designed by Sylvan Bien and Robert Bien in 1959 and built as a coop, the building is full service with gym, garage, children's playroom and low maintenance. The entrance boasts a unique and magnificent planted garden. It is located in the East 70s Gold Coast with great restaurants, sophisticated fashion boutiques, antique stores, art galleries and purveyors of gourmet food.

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.
