Welcome home to your very spacious 5 room home with a wood burning fireplace, high ceilings, and hardwood floors on one of the best blocks on the Upper Eastside.

The master bedroom is large enough for a king size bed and the 2nd bedroom is large enough for a queen size bed. Both with charming tree top views. There are also 2 full bathrooms.

The galley cooks kitchen is large and has its own window which is extremely rare.

This home has an extra bonus room originally built as a maids room. Perfect for a 3rd bedroom, home office, or formal dining room.
Please note the current owner opened the wall of the maid's room to the living room. But the wall can easily be put back up as it's original floor plan.

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.
