Enjoy low maintenance, no underlying mortgage on the building, and UNLIMITED SUBLETTING after two years of ownership with approval.

Thoughtfully renovated with luxurious modern amenities while preserving the integrity of its prewar details, this residence boasts blonde oak plank floors, a restored decorative marble fireplace with a whitewashed chimney, and soaring 11-foot ceilings. The centerpiece of the home is the expansive living and dining room, surrounded by oversized horizontal wraparound windows that extend across the entire space, showcasing tranquil garden and treetop views while flooding the residence with natural light. The dramatic scale and loft-like feel make this home enticing for both entertaining and everyday living.

The open chef's kitchen is designed for both everyday living and entertaining, featuring granite countertops, custom cabinetry, under-cabinet lighting, and premium stainless steel appliances. A proper entry foyer leads to the main-level bedroom, complete with a custom walk-in closet and beautifully renovated windowed bathroom.

A striking architecturally designed glass staircase with custom oak bannisters and generously proportioned wide steps connects the two levels, creating a true townhouse feel while offering both elegance and ease of access. Thoughtfully designed, it separates the bedroom suites for ultimate privacy.

The second level features a spacious second bedroom or home office, barrel-vaulted brick ceilings, exposed steel beams, a spa-inspired windowed bathroom, a dedicated laundry room, and additional storage areas, creating a flexible and functional private retreat.

The enormous private garden is fully enclosed for exceptional privacy and security. Newly paved and equipped with water and electrical connections, along with custom built-in planter boxes, this rare outdoor space offers endless possibilities for gardening, entertaining, outdoor dining, or simply enjoying your own private green retreat. Additionally included in this sale are the fire pit, outdoor furniture, custom blinds installed in all rooms, two through-the-wall new AC units, and one new window unit.

Situated on a quiet, non-through tree-lined tranquil street close the Q train, all mass transit, and retail stores. This financially sound cooperative has no flip tax and is both pet-friendly and smoke-free. Investor-friendly, with unlimited subletting permitted after two years of ownership with approval. Building amenities include bike storage, laundry facilities, a part-time superintendent, a restored facade, and a new solar roof installation underway with no assessments.

The purchaser pays the sponsor's transfer fees and legal fees, as there is no approval for purchase.

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.
