This Upper East Side apartment is steps away from bars, cafes, convenience stores, and restaurants along York Avenue. A five-minute walk will get you to D’Agostino’s, a locally-owned and operated supermarket. If you are looking for outdoor activity, be sure to check out Carl Schurz Park, which offers dog runs, playgrounds, and scenic views of the East River. The front door of this lovely Upper East Side unit opens to a spacious studio area with high ceilings, pendant lights, and picture frame panel walls, giving the apartment a retro New York City vibe. Oversized windows allow lots of light and warmth to fill the room during the day. The studio area can easily accommodate a queen-size bed, nightstands, and media console, as well as a personal workspace or dresser. The studio area also features a large closet for you to store all of your clothes and other household items.

The kitchen has been recently remodeled and comes equipped with an electric range, microwave, and top-freezer refrigerator. The kitchen boasts new granite countertops and a stainless steel sink with a pull-out faucet. A two-person dining table and chairs fit perfectly in this space.
