About this home

Condo for rent in Upper East Side-Carnegie Hill, Manhattan: 1 bedroom, 1 bathroom. Rent $6,500/mo. Built in 1992.

From the original listing · Realtor.comShow

Welcome to this gigantic (almost 1100 sf) north-facing and bright one bedroom/one bath home . It is in pristine condition with a newly renovated bath, new appliances and updated kitchen, and a full-size washer and dryer in the unit. It has this amazingly large living space because the apartment was originally a two bedroom/two bath apartment and the next door neighbor and landlord incorporated one of the bedrooms and baths into their 3 bedroom apartment next door. This leaves this apartment with an unusually luxurious living room and dining room. It also presents a tenant with an exceptional opportunity to live in a fabulous one bedroom apartment in one of the most popular and accessible condo buildings on the Upper Eastside, only one block to the Lexington express subway and one block to the new Q train at Second and 86th. AND, Whole Foods is right across the street and Fairway is only 1/2 a block away. The use of the full health club, party room and beautiful planted common outdoor terrace are all included in the rent. Great deal. Please call as soon as possible. This one definitely won't last.
