Renting my 1-BR apartment in the Upper East Side. It’s a big place (840 sq.ft.), with living room, dining alcove, kitchen, bedroom, bathroom, and tons of closet space. It has been recently renovated, featuring hardwood floors, GE appliances, dishwasher, built-in microwave, granite countertop. It’s a corner unit with new windows on a high floor, quiet, with a view of the city as far as the George Washington Bridge. Note: the wall colors currently are different than in the pictures (no red).

The building is a luxury building with lots of amenities: 24/7 concierge, playground, terrace with bbq, laundry room, bike room, storage room (extra) etc. There is a New York Sports Club in the building to which residents get a discount, and an attached garage (extra).

The location is very convenient, between the express and local 4/5/6 on Lex and the Q on the new 2nd Ave line. The neighborhood is very nice. The building is on a pedestrian street and next to a little park with a playground. It is also close to the East River park. You’re a couple of blocks from Whole Foods, Fairway, and a ton of shops and restaurants.
