From the original listing · Realtor.comShow

Welcome home to this spacious and beautifully renovated one-bedroom apartment in the heart of Manhattan's Upper East Side. Generously proportioned rooms, a thoughtfully updated interior, and a comfortable, sophisticated feel make this a wonderful place to call home. The large living room offers plenty of space for both relaxing and entertaining, while the renovated kitchen and bath provide the modern finishes today's buyers are looking for. The well-sized bedroom easily accommodates a king-size bed with room to spare. Quiet is what this home is all about. Facing back, it is super sunny but pin drop quiet. Ideally located in one of the Upper East Side's most convenient neighborhoods, the apartment is just moments from an excellent selection of restaurants, cafes, specialty food shops and markets, with multiple transportation options nearby. Combining space, style and an exceptionally convenient Manhattan location, this is Upper East Side living at its best. 311 East 71st Street is a full-service building offering doorman service seven days a week (7am-1am), a live-in superintendent, laundry room, bike room, storage and an on-site garage (waitlist). The building permits up to 75% financing and considers co-purchasing, gifting, guarantors, pieds-a-terre and pets on a case-by-case basis. Washer/dryers are not allowed in the building with board approval. Subletting is permitted after two years of ownership with board approval. There is a $371. assessment in place until March, 2027 for facade work.
