This beautiful 1-bedroom is set on a lovely tree-lined street in a serene stretch of the Upper East Side. Lofty, 9 6 ceilings and attractive hardwood floors. This historic prewar building is meticulously maintained, with an elevator and in-building laundry.

The sleek, all-white pass-through kitchen includes a dishwasher, plenty of cabinet space, and a peek-a-boo window overlooking the spacious living and dining room, where north-facing windows overlook the tranquil gardens below. The sizable bedroom is set on the opposite end of the apartment, adjacent to the white marble bathroom with dressing-room-style lighting.

A farmers market is located directly across the street, and nearby 1st Avenue has been newly outfitted with safe, concrete barrier bike lanes. This rapidly developing neighborhood, dotted with cozy restaurants and shops, maintains its humble charm among the array of sleek new high-rises. The leafy green expanse of Carl Schurz Park is just a few short blocks away, while the Select Bus Service on 1st and 2nd Avenues, as well as the nearby crosstown bus, provide rapid transportation anywhere in Manhattan. Pied-a-terres are allowed; there is no underlying mortgage and the unit is approved for mortgage by CitiBank and other major banks.
