Description

This lovely 1,300 sf, two bedroom / two bathroom apartment is on the market for the first time in almost fifty years. The apartment has hardwood floors, large closets, high ceilings with beams and through-the-wall ACs. You enter the apartment into a spacious foyer that flows into a dining area and sunken living room, with three large south-facing windows giving an open, expansive feeling. The galley kitchen is off the dining room, and is also windowed. The primary bedroom is sunny and king-sized, with two very big closets and three large windows. The second bedroom is also quite large. The two bathrooms still have the original tiles and laundry bins and are in excellent condition. You may want to do some upgrading of this apartment, or you could simply freshen it up with a coat of paint and move right in.

Located between 2nd and 3rd Avenues, this is a lovely Art Deco building with a resident super and full-time staff. The building has a roof deck, storage bins, a bike room, large laundry room, and is pet friendly. Pieds-a-terre and parents purchasing for relatives are allowed. The Q, 6, 4 and 5 trains and crosstown buses are nearby. A 25% down payment is required. There is a 1.5% flip tax. Showings are by appointment only.

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.
