Description

Make this spacious 3 bedroom, 2.5 bath apartment your home! The entry foyer leads to a 26 foot long living room/dining room, which is a wonderful place for entertaining and dining. There are three large bedrooms and the primary one has an en-suite bath. You'll enjoy cooking in the generously sized renovated, windowed kitchen, which has a dining nook and top of the line appliances. A washer/dryer in the apartment is an added bonus, as are noise reducing windows. The low maintenance includes electricity, a rarity in the city, and there is a fantastic roof deck, full time doorman and live-in super. The building is undergoing a renovation and it will soon have a stunning new lobby and new elevator cabs. Great shopping, restaurants, access to John Jay and Carl Schurz Parks, and transportation are all conveniently located. Pets are permitted with board approval. A monthly assessment of approximately $750 is in place until December of 2022.

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.
