Description

Stunning Studio Perfection!

Exceptionally bright, oversized and versatile space. An entry foyer leads to an open studio with not one but two! Sizeable Juliet balconies with lush, green and sunny views. There is even a sliver of the water view from the East River. High ceilings, tall windows, custom built-in closets, windowed eat in kitchen and windowed bath. Not a cookie cutter by any means. Simply a pleasure to call your Manhattan home.

Located on a green and quiet block, The Cherokee is one of the most historic and beautiful buildings on the Upper East Side. Designed by Henry Atterbury Smith in the early 1900s, the innovative architecture of the time featured large windows, balconies, and open-air staircases to promote health and air circulation. The Cherokee is a pet friendly building that allows pieds-a-terre, guarantors, co-purchasing and subletting. Easy access to all transportation including the New York City Water Ferry. Restaurants, grocery stores and coffee shops abound. Electric & gas included in monthly maintenance payments.
