345 E 81st Street #15G

You don't have to be rich to live in New York City, you just have to love it! Here's your chance to own this spacious high floor studio - the perfect NYC starter apartment or Pied a Terre on one of the most authentically old NYC blocks on the Upper East Side! 24 hour dooor man, full laundry room, and beautifully designed lobby and hallways doesn't have to come at a premium - the maintenance here is under $850 a month and that covers everything! The block is lovely and tree-lined. East 81st street has a somewhat quaint attitude - with matching townhouse rows, a few boutiques and consignment shops, Blo Hair Salon, a local wash and fold dry cleaner, hardware store and even a little needlepoint store it really feels like home here. Cafes, restaurants, nightlife, boutiques and the best gourmet shopping are all just a short trek away. Want to head to Times Square, Union Square or Brooklyn? The Q train is just a few short blocks away and will take you there in minutes - also the 4/5/6 trains just a few blocks more on East 86th and you can head local or express along the east side! The building is immaculate. With a canopied entry and a newly renovated lobby a friendly doorman waits inside to greet you. The hallways have just gotten a gorgeous design facelift and look quite elegant. The apartment is quiet and move in ready, with a perfect layout. This spacious studio checks all the right boxes. Recent upgrades include new floors, renovated bathroom and thoughtfully renovated kitchen. The kitchen has small glass subway tiles, built in shelves, stainless steel appliances, and excellent storage! The current owner LOVES to cook and made the most out of storage and design. The bathroom is practically brand new - with glassy grey subway tiles, a new vanity and a real medicine cabinet to stow away your unmentionables. Also, nifty corner shelves in the shower for extra space to store all your bath products and self-care accessories! Need storage space ? The dressing area that does double duty as a fabulous WIC and there are two additional double closets in apartment right in the front entryway. You'll actually have a place to put your coats, vacuum and linens here! The location is just perfect! You will have an array of places to shop for groceries that would make any foodie at least a little jealous. Carl Schurz park is two blocks away - along with the East River Promenade. Central Park, Fabulous Museums and all the culture you want to explore are only a NYC minute away. You are going to like it here! 345 e 81st Street has very reasonable maintenance charges and allows up to 75% financing, pied-a-terres, encourages apartment combinations, is pet friendly and has low maintenance due to the strength of the Building?s financials.
