Full-Scale Living. Affordable Price.
Welcome to 221 East 78th St, a very special boutique 1940s mid-rise building on lovely tree-lined East 78th St in the heart of the Upper East Side.
This charming and spacious one-bedroom home offers full-scale living at an affordable price. Nestled in the back of the building, on the top floor, this pin-drop quite apartment looks out on the tree tops of the building's beautiful landscaped common garden as well as the townhouses of East 79th St.
The apartment features white oak floors throughout as well as crown molding and new windows. The bedroom offers two exposure and more than enough space to comfortably fit a king-sized bed.
The kitchen boasts a windowed dining alcove that looks onto a large entry foyer with generous closets. The windowed bathroom is in excellent condition.
221 East 78th St has had many recent upgrades including a new elevator. Within the past ten years, the well-run and financially sound coop has replaced all
the building windows, converted the boiler from oil to gas and repointed the building facade.
The building features a gorgeous common garden/courtyard that is a true Manhattan gem. The part-time doorman is at the door M-F from 8:30am to 12:30am and Sat and Sun from 3:00pm to 1:00am.
