The well-maintained apartment features a gracious living room with a wood burning fireplace, two large bedrooms with ample closet space, two full baths and a windowed eat-in kitchen. High ceilings and preserved pre-war details add to the charm and character of this apartment. A rare find for the price.

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.
