Welcome to an exceptionally charming and thoughtfully updated one bedroom home offering something almost unheard of in Manhattan: a huge, fully equipped private backyard that feels like your own secret garden which is quiet, green, and completely removed from city noise. This modern residence offers loft-like 10'6" ceilings, rich real hardwood floors, and a thoughtfully designed open layout that maximizes light and storage. The recently updated open kitchen is designed for both everyday living and entertaining, with Caesarstone countertops, stainless steel appliances, a gas stove, and a built in wine fridge with bar seating, perfect for casual dinners or hosting friends. The apartment enjoys a desirable southern exposure on the backyard side, allowing excellent natural light to fill the living, dining, and kitchen areas throughout the day. The bedroom is peaceful and comfortably fits a queen size bed, with custom storage built all the way up to the ceiling, taking full advantage of the impressive ceiling height. The renovated bathroom is clean, modern, and timeless. The true showstopper is the extraordinarily large private backyard, a rare and magical escape that must be seen to be believed. Wrapped in mature ivy and anchored by a beautiful tree, the outdoor space offers year-round greenery, exceptional privacy, and remarkable quiet, you truly hear no city noise indoors or out. A private doggie door provides direct access to the backyard, making this an ideal feature for anyone with pets. The backyard comes fully outfitted with a BBQ grill, a picnic table with a weatherproof cover, outdoor lounge chairs with footrests and decorative cushions, decorative hanging lights already installed for evening ambiance, and a large weatherproof locking storage shed that is ideal for luggage, boxes, bikes, or outdoor furniture cushions during the winter months. Whether you are working from home, hosting weekend BBQs, or enjoying a glass of wine under glowing lights, this outdoor space offers a lifestyle that is nearly impossible to find in New York City. The apartment is located in a small, well maintained boutique co op building with laundry in the building, bike storage, large secure basement storage units available for rent at a low cost, and very low monthly charges which includes all city services, property taxes, gas, heat & water. Set on a quiet tree lined Upper East Side block, you are just moments from excellent subway access, neighborhood markets, restaurants, gyms, and nearby parks, offering the perfect balance of convenience and calm. This is a truly special home that combines indoor comfort, exceptional outdoor living, abundant storage, and neighborhood charm, a rare opportunity not to be missed. The building allows gifting, co-purchasing, and parents buying for children. Pets and Pieds-a-terre are allowed with board approval, and subletting is permitted after three years of living there as shareholders. Contact me for more information or to schedule a private showing.
