Description

This bright and charming studio apartment with incredibly low monthly maintenance is a terrific primary residence or investment property. Located only three flights up, the unit features a great layout, hardwood floors, high ceilings, multiple closets, and oversized windows overlooking treetop views. The apartment is large enough to accommodate a king size bed and still have a separate living area with a sofa, coffee table, and other furniture. 252 East 89th Street is an investor friendly coop with unlimited subletting from day one. It is located in a vibrant neighborhood and is right around the corner from excellent restaurants, bakeries, coffee shops, and several supermarkets. Some of Manhattan's best outdoor spaces are only blocks away, including Central Park, Carl Shurz Park, and the East River Esplanade. The Q train is located only 3 blocks away, and the 4/5/6 trains and the NYC Ferry are also conveniently close.

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.
