55 East 93rd Street, 5-E

This meticulously refreshed and bright one bedroom condominium residence has all the charm and details that one would want in a pre-war building: crown molding with baseboards, solid-wood doors with fine doorknobs and door casings, and lovely open views of nearby townhouse gardens. The well-proportioned living room has high ceilings (9' 5"), bright south and east exposures, and handsome hardwood floors. The spacious and updated kitchen has granite countertops, a microwave, dishwasher, all new Smeg appliances, and can be closed off from the hallway with pocket doors. The renovated bathroom has a large shower stall with a custom glass door, and has a north facing window. The bedroom has both north and east facing windows and two large closets with solid-wood French doors. The bedroom and living room have through-the-wall air conditioning. In this gracious layout, all four rooms converge into a central hallway. Located on East 93rd Street just off Madison Avenue, the Alamo, a Renaissance Revival style building, sits on a beautiful tree-lined block surrounded by well-kept townhouses and significant mansions. One block from Central Park, the Alamo is near many great neighborhood favorites such as Yura, The Corner Bookstore, and Glace NY, and only a few blocks to the Upper East Side Whole Foods. The Alamo is a pristine pet friendly boutique pre-war condominium with an elevator and low common charges and taxes. There is a laundry room, a bike room, and storage cages in the basement. A direct-to-cell-phone security entry system was recently installed, with options for voice and video, and the ability to add one-time guest codes.
