Unlike any other studio in the building or the neighborhood, this unit has been renovated by a conscientious owner who conceptualizes practical elegance. The main living area showcases red oak floors with a rich, walnut-colored finish. Original floors have been completely replaced, not just refinished, and subflooring has been secured, making the apartment library quiet underfoot. Crown and baseboard moldings adorn the room, while dimmer-controlled recessed lighting in three zones perfectly illuminates the apartment. The kitchen has been opened, reconfigured and outfitted with cherry cabinets, marble countertops, a breakfast bar, and a stainless steel appliance package. The show-room caliber bathroom has also been outfitted with striking subway tile, a classic vanity, and slate flooring. This bright, south-facing home clears the rooftops across leafy East 90th Street. The elevator co-op - which welcomes pets, permits sublets and allows parents to guarantee the purchase or buy outright - is located only one block from Asphalt Green Fitness and Health complex and a few blocks from 15-acre Carl Schurz Park along the East River. There are major supermarkets within three blocks, a Starbucks around the corner, and many great restaurants. The Second Avenue subway is on schedule to be completed by 2016, and there will be a station at 86th Street. Please note, tenant in place through 02/28/2014.
