Description

Welcome to this meticulously renovated and oversized studio with a separate den/sleeping area, ideally positioned on a picturesque tree-lined block with stunning views of the Holy Trinity Church and the skyline beyond. Offered fully furnished, this bright and tranquil residence was thoughtfully reimagined with premium finishes and smart upgrades throughout. The living area is anchored by wide-plank hardwood floors laid over a soft-cork base for enhanced comfort and sound insulation. Twenty dimmable LED recessed lights, controlled by three-way switches, provide tailored lighting for every mood. A custom windowsill hutch adds a touch of elegance and provides additional storage, along with a brand-new Friedrich AC unit. The separate den/bedroom features a custom-built four-panel mirrored closet, offering both functionality and a sense of depth. The kitchen is outfitted with top-of-the-line appliances, including a built-in Bosch refrigerator and dishwasher, GE Profile oven/microwave, and Summit gas cooktop—all seamlessly integrated into sleek cabinetry. The spa-like bathroom boasts a deep soaking tub with Hansgrohe shower system, Duravit sink and toilet, a heated towel rack, and is finished with luxurious Grespania tilework. Behind the scenes, all plumbing and electrical have been replaced, ensuring modern efficiency and peace of mind. This full-service co-op offers a 24-hour doorman, live-in superintendent, bike room, central laundry, garage with lobby access, and a serene, furnished courtyard. Recent upgrades to the lobby and hallways add to the building’s upscale appeal. Pieds-à-terre, gifting, co-purchasing, and subletting are permitted, along with 80% financing. Ideally located just one block from the Q train, and moments from the 4/5/6 lines, Whole Foods, Fairway, museums, restaurants, Carl Schurz Park and Central Park—this is refined Upper East Side living at its best.

The Upper East Side remains the gold standard for classic New York elegance. Known for 'Museum Mile' and its low-traffic, 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.
