New York Apartment - Alcove Studio in Upper East Side (NY-10249)

Situated in the Upper East Side of Manhattan, this apartment is actually an alcove studio, a loft and a duplex at the same time! This rental is on the two top floors of a 6-story (equivalent to the European 5-story) former industrial building converted to a residential one in 1985, thus giving it a special charm and very interesting layout. The building features a full-time doorman and an elevator, though you have to go up stairs to reach the upper floors of the duplex. Furthermore, this apartment has a third-level that leads to a private 400 square foot terrace (37 sqm) on the rooftop, a rarity in such an accommodation! Take advantage of it as much as you can and enjoy its southern exposure.

Fully furnished and equipped with the major appliances needed to live comfortably, you will feel right at home! This apartment has a convenient layout, with the living area on the first level, the sleeping one on the second and the furnished terrace on the third! It features hardwood floors, two spiral staircases and an impressive 20 sq/f (1.85 sqm) window (practically floor-to-ceiling) in the living-room, which features high ceilings. Therefore, this is a very pleasant living space that receives lots of sunlight and offers street views. The apartment has sizeable storage space and is perfect for entertaining—you can have friends over for lunch and dinner and benefit from the fully equipped kitchen (that even features a dishwasher) and the dining tables in the living room and terrace!

On 62nd Street & 2nd Avenue, this rental is located in the Upper East Side —one of New York's fanciest areas!
