Description

No supply chain or commuting issues here! This cozy Southern Exposure studio is around the corner from the Q train and the 72nd Street bus.

The open concept kitchen has been tastefully renovated & designed. The space was maximized by adding a breakfast/dinner/wine bar for additional seating. The custom shaker white cabinets (15 to be exact) allow for maximum storage along with the deep soffit that can be used for decorative purposes or to house extra All Clad Cookware, Riedel Wine glasses or your fine china. The ever-popular, curved overhead track lighting illuminates not only the kitchen area, but makes the living room extra bright as well. A modern glass backsplash, coordinating granite countertops, s/s appliances and tile floor make this a great place to prepare light healthy dishes in summer or huge pots of chili during cold NY winters.

The bathroom has designer horizontal strip lighting, glass shower doors and an oversized rain showerhead. There are 3 floor to ceiling closets (one is 6 feet wide)-with customized shelving units and drawers. This sun filled home has hardwood floors throughout. The maximum efficiency air conditioner is almost brand new.

This charming pre-war elevator building is pet-friendly with a live-in super, video intercom, central laundry and bike storage. Flexible sublet policy after two years ownership.

You know what they say in Real Estate--location, location, location! Urban Digs regards the UES as one of the best long-term investments in Manhattan. The restaurant scene in this coveted neighborhood has been growing at an unprecedented rate in the last 4 years. Great standbys like Uva, J.G. Melons, Patsy's Pizza & Mediterraneo are still around. Places like Thep, Mission Ceviche & Sushi of Gari are busy all the time.
You can't beat Levain for their cookies, Breads Bakery for their babka, or Laudree for their cult-like macaroon following. Orwashers still has the best Black & white cookies in the city--since 1961! Welcome home!

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.
