Property Description for 311 East 71st Street, 1-A

A “must see” for private outdoor space lovers! This truly unique and rarely available renovated 1-bedroom, 1-bath features a large and serene professionally landscaped private patio measuring approximately 625 square feet. Its location in the back of the building, surrounded by other private outdoor spaces, ensures a tranquil and very private urban oasis experience. It’s the perfect entertainment destination for summer barbeques, alfresco dining and outdoor fun, as well as the perfect place to hone your gardening skills. Low monthlies of $1,525 make this property even more compelling. The interior of this roomy and pin-drop quiet apartment features a renovated cook’s kitchen with premium stainless appliances and cabinetry with a pass thru and breakfast bar, a renovated pre-war style bathroom, crown and baseboard moldings and hardwood plank flooring throughout, in addition to an abundance of closets. Located on a prime and conveniently located tree-lined block on the Upper East Side, 311 East 71st Street is a well-maintained coop with low maintenance, a part-time doorman (6:00AM to midnight), a live-in super, private parking garage accessible via the basement, a state-of-the art laundry room, bike room and storage room with bins for rent. The location is unbeatable, just minutes away from the 72nd Street subway station for the Q train, which provides you with easy connection access to many major subway lines throughout Manhattan. There are also several Citi Bike stations nearby. You’re also just minutes away from Equinox, Citarella’s, Grace’s Market, Gracious Home, Target and countless other restaurants and shops. Pied a terres, co-purchasing and subletting are permitted. The building does not allow pets. This special property is being offered in two ways; 1). “as is” with a temporary sunroom structure of approximately 200 square feet resting on the patio off the living room, leaving approximately 425 square feet of private patio; or 2). With the temporary sunroom structure removed and replaced with artificial grass by the current owner, providing full use of the approximately 625 square feet of private landscaped patio. (Please note: the living room and bedroom have been virtually staged with more contemporary and properly-sized furniture to better present the space.)

Upper East Side | Manhattan

Quick Profile

Exuding a cosmopolitan, refined air that is reminiscent of Paris or other European cities, the Upper East Side (the UES, to local cognoscenti) has a reputation as being a bastion of wealth and privilege. Even though it was built by American “royalty” families like the Vanderbilts, Roosevelts, Kennedys, Carnegies and Rockefellers, whose elaborate mansions once anchored Fifth Avenue, there are affordable housing options throughout the neighborhood. The further east you move, away from Central Park and the more commercial avenues, the more likely you are to find quiet, tree-lined streets with historic townhouses and brownstones. Keep your eye out for reasonably priced apartments in pre-war low-rise and even a few high-rise buildings.

With abundant, beautifully landscaped green spaces, including the oasis of Central Park acting like a backyard, the area is quiet and lushly green. You can relax and unwind in John Jay Park, Carl Schurz Park or take a stroll along the East River Promenade. The whole neighborhood seems isolated from the workaday chaos of the city at large. Add to that the history of the neighborhood and the abundance of cultural institutions, and you have a uniquely welcoming neighborhood.

Known for its abundance of high-end retail shopping, especially on Madison Avenue, the Upper East Side is host to the Barneys New York flagship department store. Here you can find upscale goods, fashion and home decor items. You will also find the edgy runway-inspired Alexander McQueen collections. If you are dying to treat your feet to red-soled opulence, be sure to visit the Christian Louboutin boutique. These are only a small sampling of this high-end shopper’s paradise that features everything from designer boutiques that offer the ultimate in haute couture to resale shops where you can find last season’s best on sale at hefty discounts .

There are many unique dining experiences, from fine dining to the casual bite-on-the-go, awaiting you in the UES. Sushi is going through a renaissance in the city, and the best omakase-style sushi can be found at Sasabune on E 73rd Street. Omakase sushi means that you leave the choice of ingredients, preparation method and presentation to the chef. Elegant French cuisine can be experienced at JoJo, E 64th Street, housed in gorgeous townhouse. Just for fun, visit the Lexington Candy Shop on Lexington Avenue, to get a taste of an old-fashioned soda fountain.
