Description

The perfect mix of character and modern amenities, this penthouse apartment is the gem you have been looking for.
Located in a beautiful and well-maintained co-op building, this top floor duplex unit has a roof deck, amazing sunlight, a spacious living space, smart storage solutions, a loft for an added sleeping/lounging area, and a queen size bedroom. With exposed brick, high ceilings, and original details - the charm exhibited from this 1920's building can't be missed!

The open kitchen has modern appliances, a wood countertop, and extends the full length of the space allowing for a dining counter and added workspace. The bathroom has been fully renovated with subway tile, vent, and a window for fresh air. Roof deck has plenty of room for both a dining and seating area, please note that half of the deck is deeded to this apartment and the other half (not shown in floor plan) is deeded to the apartment next door. You would need building approval, but could potentially put a wall down the middle if you wish.

This pre-war co-op allows subletting after 2 years, allows parents buying for, co-purchasing, and pied-e-terres. Around the corner for the 86th street Q station, and just two blocks to the 86th 4/5/6 subway station, you have the trains extremely close by. Conveniently located down the street from Whole Foods, amazing restaurants and shops, and just 4.5 blocks to Central Park - the location doesn't get much better than this.

Board just approved 1 cat per unit - sorry no dogs allowed.

Please note all showings are by appointment (even when OH's are scheduled per COVID protocols). Everyone must wear a mask when entering the building/apartment.

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.
