Description

Charming Pre-War Classic Six Facing north over sunny tree-lined views of brownstones on 71st Street, this apartment offers two additional exposures to the south and east. Located on a landing with only one other residence, Apartment 3C boasts a gracious living room (23'9" x 13'10") with a working wood-burning fireplace. The master suite is also north-facing, and located off of a private bedroom corridor, through which the second bedroom was originally also accessed. Currently one enters the second bedroom via double doors off of the apartment's main hallway. Both bedroom suites include ensuite bathrooms. In the northern quadrant of the apartment, a dining room, third bedroom, powder room and kitchen are located. Connected to the living room via the apartment's central hallway and foyer, the dining room is wonderfully proportioned (13'6" x 17'8") to accommodate a large table or seating group. Currently configured as an office, the adjacent third bedroom boasts an ensuite bathroom which houses a washer/dryer, and serves as the apartment's powder room. A sunny corner kitchen has double exposures to the south and east. Ideally located on THE chic stretch of Lexington Avenue, 142 East 71st Street is a highly desirable pre-war cooperative, surrounded by some of the Upper East Side's most beloved businesses--including Mecox Gardens, Plaza Flowers and Corrado Cafe--to name a few. Staffed by a 24-hour doorman and live-in Superintendent--additional building amenities include a bike room and private storage. Located three blocks from Central Park and within a short walking distance of the Q, 4 and 6 lines, 142 East 71st Street is in an ideal Upper East Side location--surrounded by the best dining, retail, and culture that Manhattan has to offer. This cooperative allows 50% financing, and there is no flip tax. Pets are welcome.

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.
