From the original listing · Realtor.comShow

If you are looking for value, versatility, and a view in a prime Upper East Side location, this high-floor, sun-filled and spacious one bedroom truly hits the mark. C-line one bedrooms are coveted for their open, skyline-filled exposures on higher floors, and their generous proportions, offering the optionality to spread out in its original format, or configure for flex-2 living by taking advantage of the living room's wide window-wall. 18C has an updated kitchen with ample storage, stainless steel appliances, and granite countertops, opening onto the extra-wide living room with its high floor view to the south and room for both dining and seating areas. The spacious primary bedroom easily accommodates a king bedroom-set, has a walk-in closet, and shares in the outstanding light and views. This home offers an opportunity for a new owner to put one's own design preferences and modernizations in to optimize the space for many years to come, and there is great closet space throughout to customize as well. This residence is located at The Fontaine, a full-service doorman co-op with excellent staff. Residents benefit from a 24-hour doorman attending a fully-renovated lobby, a live-in superintendent, roof deck with panoramic views, well-appointed gym, laundry room, and bike storage, all designed to simplify daily life. The building is also pet and pied-a-terre friendly with board approval. Subletting is flexibly allowed after 2 years of ownership. Ideally situated just a short walk to the Q, Cross and Up/Downtown Busses, and 4/5/6, the building offers easy access to the rest of the city, while delivering on-foot convenience to acclaimed restaurants, boutiques, grocery options, Central Park and the East River Promenade. Note: Virtually staged images are followed by originals.
