For sale by owner – please text or call to set up time to view. Will pay buyer broker commission. Bought for $1.1M near bottom of market in 2010 – have done $300K+ in renovations. Moved to Connecticut in December, highly motivated sellers. Apartment has unobstructed views East, South and West – amazing light all day. Need to see in person to fully appreciate.

Rare UES gem…large, gracious and flexibly formal 2 bed, 2 bath full time doorman, full service handyman, live-in super, top floor apartment (one of only three units on top floor) offering nearly every light exposure – gorgeous sun course from sunrise to sunset – and unobstructed views of the city, particularly your wow-factor vista of iconic Queensborough Bridge from expansive dining and living room windows.

Owners did significant renovations after purchase: wide beam hard wood floors, Viking appliances, marble countertops in kitchen (tile floor) and bathrooms (marble floors), timeless tile finishings, with classic Waterworks fixtures for luxury master bath (tub & shower) and guest bath (spacious walk in shower with wood bench), grandfathered washer/dryer otherwise not permissible, sophisticated built-in bookcase with large storage cupboards and TV recess, formal coat and linen closets, shoe closet, regular closet, and mega walk-in closet with hidden pocket door entry from second bedroom.

Extremely accessible end of Upper East Side, with all the townhouse tree-lined charm and neighborhood amenities, at 61st btw Lex & 3rd – hop on 4, 5, 6, N, R, W, Q, F (E short distance away) or Roosevelt Island tram, enjoy parking garage on the same block (same side), street parking between 7pm & 8am, Metro North from either Grand Central or 125th Street is a cinch, and short straight-shot strolling distance from Central Park (pet friendly building for any takers of morning walks off-leash) and nearby midtown offices and attractions. Duane Reade, movie theater, dry cleaner, coffee shop, deli, wine shop and restaurants right downstairs, not to mention Home Depot, Whole Foods and Bloomingdales within 3 blocks.
