Description

This high floor, beautifully renovated, and sun-drenched home is the studio of your dreams. Perched on the 12th floor with southern exposure and fabulous open city views, this home has it all. The spacious, open floor plan allows comfortably for simple living, sleeping, and work (home office). Both the designer kitchen and bathroom have been elegantly gut-renovated, with brand new appliances and fixtures. The apartment also boasts beautifully stained parquet floors, thru-wall air-conditioning, a wall of double-pained windows, and three spacious, organized closets that are newly designed by The Container Store and California Closets. The Diplomat Cooperative is a well-managed, full-service elevator building in the heart of the Upper East Side. Residents delight in both the quiet location and close proximity to major transportation--the Second Avenue Subway is a mere block away. The building features a welcoming staff, including a doorman, live-in superintendent, and porter. Services also include a full-service garage, bike storage, private basement storage, and central laundry. Pied-a-terres, co-purchasers, and guarantors are all considered. Sorry, no pets. Enjoy the charm of an idyllic tree-lined block centrally located and near some of the best shopping, restaurants, and Upper East Side nightlife.

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.
