Nestled among the trees on a quiet street, this wonderful, sun-filled, south-facing prewar studio offers penthouse-like living on the top floor with extra-high 9ft ceilings, crown moldings, gleaming new hardwood floors, beautiful exposed brick, decorative fireplace, renovated bath, and stunning large renovated eat-in kitchen with new counters, custom cabinets, dishwasher, and plenty of room for a dining table!  Calling all chefs!  Studio living in this unique and charming home does not compromise your need for a great kitchen!  The apartment has a low $854 maintenance and faces trees and the courtyards of neighboring low-rise buildings, so it is pin-drop quiet and filled with natural southern light.  Located on a lovely scenic block in the heart of the Upper East Side, this intimate, boutique coop is a stone's throw from the new 2nd Ave subway, express 4 and 5 trains, crosstown bus at 86th St, and M15 Select Bus service. Just steps from great shopping, restaurants, bars, parks and cafes--including Whole Foods, Fairway, Equinox, 92nd St Y, Carl Shurz Park, Central Park, and Asphalt Green Sports Complex--this location offers an easy and convenient NYC lifestyle and is a perfect full-time or part-time residence. Well maintained 21-unit walk-up building has a super and a central laundry room. This rare gem is a great value and well worth the walk up. Pied-a-terres and copurchasing OK, subletting allowed with board approval after 3 years of residency. Cats OK but sorry no dogs. Note: $72/mo assessment until Dec 2017.
