Exquisitely well-appointed, this modern home in Lenox Hill delights with bright south-facing views overlooking the building’s birch tree-filled courtyard.

Go from meal prep to entertaining in a flash with the fully-equipped kitchen featuring modern appliances with dishwasher included, making clean up a cinch. The expansive living area is large enough to easily accommodate a dining area, entertainment area, and even a little extra for your workout zone.

Located between First Ave and York on East 63rd Street, The Royal York is one of only a few Upper East Side condops that boast a full-time doorman, gym, laundry, and a parking garage. The residents-only landscaped terrace, aptly named Birch Tree Garden Grove, creates a peaceful oasis within the city. The building is 13 stories and one of a pair of buildings that make up The Royal York complex.
