Sunkissed, pin-drop quiet, huge, real one bedroom located in a doorman building on a beautiful tree-lined block off of 3rd Avenue! Generous and flexible layout with great flow from the sunny East-facing living room to a separate dining area next to even more entertaining space off the windowed kitchen with top-of-the-line stainless steel appliances! The windowed bath is mint renovated with designer tiles and Kohler fixtures. The tranquil bedroom features double exposure overlooking gardens, a wall of closets and custom window shutters. Beautiful honey hardwood strip floors throughout, custom built-ins and trim work (wainscoting and high baseboards) highlight the grand proportions of this elegant home.

221 East 78th Street is a charming 1940s building, nestled on one of the Upper East Side’s best tree-lined streets, steps to the 6 and Q subway lines, crosstown and 3rd Ave buses. The building features a part-time doorman (M-F 8AM to 12AM, weekends 3PM to 1AM), live-in Super, bike storage, brand new windows, a renovated lobby and entryway and a lovingly landscaped common garden. Pied-a-terres and co-purchases allowed. Subleasing permitted after 2 years. Cats ok but sorry, no dogs. Next to Harbs, Candle Cafe, Quality Eats, Sant Ambroeus, Irving Farm, and Maison Kayser. Citarella, Eli’s Market, Whole Foods, and Fairway all within blocks. In between Central Park and the East River – close to all museums, shops, Soul Cycle, Crunch, Equinox, Exhale – and so much more!

Priced to sell – easy show! Current assessment covers major capital improvements including brand new windows, repointing of the building facade and the conversion from oil to gas.
