About This Home
One of Midtown East's most compelling condo opportunities, this bright and distinctive one-bedroom combines exceptionally low common charges, low real estate taxes, and an investor-friendly ownership policy - a rare combination in the neighborhood.
Set within an intimate three-story prewar brownstone condominium on a quiet, tree-lined residential block, the apartment offers a warm, loft-like character highlighted by a massive skylight and vaulted ceiling that flood the main living space with natural light throughout the day.
The open kitchen is remarkably well equipped, featuring a large island/breakfast bar, stone countertops, generous cabinetry, and an impressive suite of appliances. The kitchen includes a highly energy-efficient two-burner induction cooktop with dedicated exhaust ventilation, dishwasher, refrigerator with built-in icemaker, and two microwaves - one featuring an air-fryer function for added cooking versatility. A dedicated under-counter reverse-osmosis (RO) water filtration system provides filtered drinking water right at the kitchen. In-unit washer/dryer adds another level of everyday convenience.
The quiet bedroom comfortably accommodates up to a king-size bed - as currently furnished - and offers generous closet storage. The updated full bathroom is another standout, featuring its own skylight and bringing natural light into a space where it is rarely found.
The boutique three-story condominium retains the charm and character of its prewar architecture while offering beautifully updated common areas. Ideally situated in Midtown East near the United Nations, the home is surrounded by restaurants, cafés, shopping, neighborhood conveniences, and excellent public transportation.
With unusually low carrying costs, dramatic natural light, two skylights, a vaulted ceiling, in-unit washer/dryer, a thoughtfully equipped kitchen, and flexible investor-friendly ownership, this is a unique opportunity for a primary residence, pied-à-terre, or investment property.
