Description

Apartment 7A is gem on the Upper East Side with a rare combination of spaciousness, low monthlies, coveted location, and new renovations. Youll love this sun-filled and quiet apartment that is in mint condition with 3 large bedrooms, freshly renovated bathrooms and kitchen, and great closet and storage space. This apartment also benefits from exceptionally low monthly maintenance charges for an apartment of this size and is located on a quiet and beautiful tree-lined block. The apartment is fully turn-key/move-in ready and artfully blends new and old with its renovated open-kitchen and bathrooms, equipped with high-end appliances (including Washer/Dryer) and original details such as the hardwood flooring and beamed ceilings. The spacious living room 2011" x 12 10" has a new custom built-in entertainment unit with shelving and drawers that provides extra storage. The dining area boasts a built-in banquette with generous storage underneath leads directly to the open windowed modern kitchen with a tiled backsplash and marbled counter tops that includes a gas stove-top and oven, full size refrigerator, retractable microwave, and even a wine cooler. The luxurious master bedroom is 168 x 12 and has 2 exposures facing South and West and an en-suite windowed bath with a shower as well as a large walk-in closet. Both windowed bathrooms are newly renovated and include exquisite fixtures with ample storage space. The bright second bedroom has 2 exposures facing South and East and is equipped with a large closet that includes custom drawers and shelving. The third bedroom has a built-in, hardwood desk, which is ideal for working from home. In total, this apartment provides an exceptional amount of storage solutions with its 6 closets, built-in storage options, and additional space for items large and small in the common basement storage area.

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.
