This stately Upper East Side studio is just steps from the new Second Avenue subway
For a solo apartment that has the feel of a classic-six but not the price tag, this well-heeled, $535,000 studio co-op on East 73rd Street is hard to beat, with its mix of recent renovations and classic prewar touches.
Thought it's essentially a single room, there's enough personality in this space to make up for the lack of a real bedroom. With detailed moldings, beamed ceilings, a dramatic chandelier, and embellishments on the cabinetry, it's far from your standard studio box.
It's spacious, too: Once you pass the spacious entrance foyer (outfitted with walk-in closets), you'll enter the main living area, which has enough square footage for a woodburning fireplace, three large windows, and built-ins that include a Murphy bed:
Even the wall behind the Murphy bed has been wallpapered to add texture and pizzazz.
The kitchen and bathroom are both windowed, as well, and have been renovated to include marble details, high-end new appliances, and plenty of storage space.
The building employs a full-time doorman, and is generally more flexible than your average Upper East Side co-op: Pets are allowed, as are guarantors, sublets, pied-a-terres, and parents buying for children. On the less positive side, however, the monthly maintenance is steep, clocking in at a $1,217/month.
Perhaps most pertinent, however, is the location: The building is less than 500 feet, according to StreetEasy, from the new 72nd Street station of the Second Avenue subway. Meaning, then, that your commute will be a breeze, and that property values are likely to rise over the next few years.
