**All appointments - including Sunday Open Houses - are by appointment only.

The spacious living room easily accommodates separate living and dining areas, while classic hardwood parquet floors add warmth and character throughout. The original efficiency-style kitchen is tucked just off the living area and offers an excellent opportunity to renovate and reconfigure the space with additional cabinetry, storage and workspace.

Large windows frame expansive views over the surrounding neighborhood and treetops toward the East River, Brooklyn and the Manhattan Bridge. A tiled bathroom with bathtub and ample closet space complete the home. **A modest **monthly assessment of $144 (through April 2028)** helps fund recent building upgrades while keeping your carrying costs predictable.** * Co-op amenities (additional fees and wait lists may apply) include 24-hour attended lobbies, 2 large private parks, children's playroom (plus access to neighboring Hillman co-op's park and playroom), community room, and fully equipped fitness center.
