Description

SIZE, LOCATION, QUALITY BUILDING, AND PRICE!!!
This apartment offers all of the above! Welcome to an alcove studio that easily converts to a Junior 1 bedroom. The kitchen and bath are in original condition and need updating, but once they are renovated, you'll have a spectacular home. The apartment's dimensions are very generous allowing you to have a huge entertaining space and dining in your 30' long living room, and the 12'x8.5" alcove can accommodate a queen-size bed plus furniture. You also will enjoy excellent closet space, 2 closets at the entry way, and 2 closets within the alcove, and hardwood floors throughout.

Perched on a high floor facing north, you will enjoy a quiet apartment as well as an open sky giving you natural light and sunshine. Located on lovely tree-lined 79th Street on the Upper East Side, this elegant co-op has recently had many upgrades (with no assessments!). The building has a BRAND NEW LOBBY, NEW COMMON HALLWAYS, NEW BOILER, NEW ELEVATORS, NEW LAUNDRY ROOM, & NEW INTERCOM SYSTEM. Sorry, no pied-a-terres allowed, but the Board is amenable to gifting, guarantors, and co-purchasing with Board approval. This pet-friendly, well managed and well-maintained building offers a 24 hour doorman, a 24-hour attended garage, live-in super, and central air-conditioning. It has excellent financials and a healthy reserve. The location is extremely convenient offering restaurants and cafes, shopping, public transportation (Q and F subway, M31, M79 bus), a library, post office, excellent food markets all just down the block!

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.
