Overview
Elegant Pre-War Studio
Located just one and a half blocks from the Metropolitan Museum of Art and Central Park, this boutique cooperative offers the refinement of a bygone era amid the conveniences of modern city living. With only twenty-two residences and remarkably low maintenance, it is ideally suited as a primary residence or an elegant pied-à-terre.
Twelve-foot ceilings crown the space, while hardwood floors, period moldings, and a ceiling medallion lend both character and quiet grandeur. At the heart of the room, a decorative fireplace draws the eye with a sense of visual balance. The scale of the windows and ceiling height creates a dramatic and harmonious composition.
The windowed kitchen overlooks a serene courtyard garden, where southern light drifts in gently throughout the day. The bathroom, too, is windowed and well-considered, with tiled floors, a spa-like shower, and ample storage providing both comfort and practicality. (washer and dryer is permitted)
Residents benefit from a close relationship with the adjacent sister building at 970 Park Avenue, which provides 24-hour staff for security, packages, and maintenance. Additional amenities include shared laundry facilities and a storage room. Pied-à-terres and pets are welcomed, and subletting is allowed after one year of residence.
Constructed in 1912 of red brick and limestone, the building was originally comprised of three townhouses. These were seamlessly joined in 1988 to create the current low-rise structure, offering just four apartments per floor and a rare sense of privacy in the heart of the Upper Eastside.
A residence of quiet dignity and enduring charm.

Upper East Side
Overview of Upper East Side
The Upper East Side (UES) is the epitome of classic New York wealth and culture. Stretching from Central Park to the East River, it is home to Museum Mile, Madison Avenue fashion, and some of the most prestigious addresses in the world. For buyers seeking Upper East Side Manhattan real estate, it offers a lifestyle of polished elegance and safety.
Living in the Upper East Side ranges from the ultra-luxury of Fifth Avenue to the bustling, younger energy of Second Avenue. As a premier Manhattan NYC neighborhood, it remains the gold standard for residential stability and top-tier schools.
Real Estate & Housing Market
The market for homes for sale in the Upper East Side is surprisingly diverse. While famous for $20 million townhouses and co-ops, the eastern avenues (Yorkville) offer excellent value for studios and one-bedrooms.
It is valid to say it has two markets: the "Gold Coast" west of Lexington (historic, expensive, co-op heavy) and the area east of Lexington (more condos, more rentals, more affordable).
Lifestyle & Community
The lifestyle on the UES is refined. Residents spend weekends at the Met or the Guggenheim, jogging in Central Park, and dining at established bistros. It is less trendy than downtown but more livable.
The community is generational. You will see grandmothers and toddlers who both grew up in the neighborhood. It feels established, clean, and manicured.
Transportation & Accessibility
The Upper East Side was transformed by the Second Avenue Subway (Q train), which relieved pressure on the 4/5/6 line. Now, the area feels incredibly connected to Midtown and downtown.
The crosstown buses through the park (at 65th, 79th, 86th, 96th) are vital lifelines to the West Side.
Parks, Schools & Amenities
Central Park is the neighborhood's front yard. Carl Schurz Park on the East River is a hidden gem with a dog run and promenade.
Amenities are world-class. The area has the highest concentration of private schools in the city (Dalton, Spence, Chapin) and top hospitals (Lenox Hill, Mt Sinai), making it a magnet for families and professionals.
Who This Neighborhood Is Best For
The Upper East Side is best for families, culture lovers, and anyone who wants a classic, safe, and green New York City experience.
