Featuring gorgeous updates and an expansive floor plan, this lovely and bright alcove studio apartment is the perfect Lenox Hill retreat in a full-service postwar co-op building.

Light-stained floors, high ceilings and an extra-wide row of windows amplify sunshine and airiness in this ultra-sleek and spacious home. The main living space stretches an impressive 30 feet long, providing plenty of room for living, dining and sleeping or the ideal footprint for crafting a true separate bedroom, if desired.

Storage is never a concern here thanks to convenient built-ins, a fully outfitted walk-through dressing room/closet and another large closet near the entry. Beautifully maintained throughout, this home offers a gleaming updated kitchen that rivals that found in much larger apartments, with abundant cabinet space and top-notch stainless steel appliances. Delightful tilework, Shaker cabinetry and modern fixtures provide utility and style in the lovely bathroom.

310 East 70th Street is a stately postwar cooperative featuring full-time doorman service, live-in superintendent, updated lobby, central laundry room, storage and bike room, a roof deck and onsite parking garage. Guarantors, co-purchasing and pets allowed. No pieds-a-terre, please.

Perfectly positioned on quiet, tree-lined East 70th Street near Second Avenue, this location combines Lenox Hill residential tranquility with easy access to the shops, services, dining and nightlife the Upper East Side is known for. There's a delightful playground just two blocks south, and Central Park and the East River promenade provide great outdoor space to the east and west. Transportation is effortless with the Q train a block away, plus 6 and F trains within easy reach.
