Description

Finally! An EXTRA-LARGE two bedroom home that can be converted to three, in move-in condition with a WASHER-DRYER, that has LOW MAINTENANCE covering all utilities INCLUDING ELECTRIC in an up-scale, full service co-op on the Upper East Side. The entertaining space is impressive, very spacious and gracious - over 30' long and 14' wide. The dining alcove can easily be converted to a 3rd bedroom, as it has been done many times in this line. The kitchen, with it's own service entrance, has stone counters and backsplash, a large pantry, sub-zero refrigerator, Bosch 5-burner stove, custom water filter, and where you will find the LG inverter washer/dryer. There are two full marble baths. The apartment enjoys huge closet space, hard-wood plank floors throughout, new closet doors with brush chrome hardware, and crown molding. York Towers is a fine cooperative with only seven apartments per floor. It was built as a co-op and has always been 100% owner-owned. There is a 24 hour concierge, live-in building manager, a gorgeous furnished ROOF-DECK, private garage (with waiting list), and central laundry room. It is located in a wonderful neighborhood minutes from restaurants, cafes, food markets, sought-after parks (John Jay and Carl Shurz) and the East River Promenade. Also, conveniently near public transportation - the Q and 6 subway line, and buses going uptown, downtown and crosstown. An added bonus is that the building is getting a brand new beautiful facade, gorgeous lobby and new elevator cabs. Most of the work is already finished and it will all be completed by next year. The assessment for this work will be paid in full by the seller at closing! Pets and pied-a-terres are welcome. Come home to space and flexibility and to a two bedroom home that has it all!

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.
