Imagine living in a Manhattan neighborhood known for its prosperous residents and historic buildings. Now you can, with this one bedroom apartment located on the Upper East Side between East 61st Street & First Avenue. Situated on the first floor (considered the ground floor by Europeans) of a five story walk-up building, this apartment features three rooms, abundant closet space in the living room, and a bathroom. Included in the building is a buzzer/intercom system, easily allowing entrance to your new NYC friends…or the delivery boy! Additionally, a well-kempt backyard is available for use by all residents of the building, allowing for a calming environment in an otherwise turbulent city.

For rest and relaxation after a day in the busy city, take pleasure in the cozy ambiance of the serenely-decorated living area.

An area rug lies under a white coffee table, and a wooden chair sits next to the sofa, available for additional guests. Two closet spaces take up one side of the wall, providing space to store personal belongings. A Queen sized bed is supplied in the separate sleeping area to ensure your comfort, and an air conditioner is available for use during hot summer days. Two large windows facing south give view of a garden area. The bedroom is separated from the living area by a set of French doors. The bathroom, located next to the kitchen, is furnished with a tub, shower, and toilet. The nicely equipped separate kitchen includes most of your cooking tool necessities, such as an oven, freezer, coffeemaker, toaster, and fridge.
