Broker & Buyer Comments

This "well-maintained" 7-story elevator building offers "convenient living" with a "helpful" live-in super and "coveted" roof deck access. The "prime Upper East Side location" puts you steps from "fantastic dining options" and the "scenic East River promenade." While the subway requires "a bit of a walk," the crosstown bus provides "easy access" right outside. The building's "practical amenities" include basement laundry, while the surrounding area boasts "everything you need," from fitness options to riverside recreation.
