European Charm in New York City! Welcome home to this beautiful and bright pre-war apartment at the historically unique landmark Cherokee Building on the Upper East Side. This incredibly spacious home can be used in its efficient existing manner as a one bedroom with a large living/dining room space plus separate den opening up to the chef's kitchen or it can easily be converted into a true two bedroom. Complimenting this sun-flooded apartment are 9 foot ceilings, floor-to-ceiling windows, recessed lighting, generous closet space outfitted with California Closet shelving, two bathrooms including one full bathroom with glass door to a deluxe shower and one bathroom that has been reconfigured by removing the stall shower and replacing it with a full size washer and dryer. Both bathrooms feature custom stone tiles and Kohler fixtures. The heart of the home is a massive chef's kitchen with granite counter tops, stainless steel appliances and a granite counter bar that opens into the room that was used as a den/library. The apartment is move-in ready considering the tasteful renovation to the kitchen and bathrooms and featuring brand new gorgeous seven inch plank hardwood floors. Other lovely highlights include a brick accent wall in the living room, French doors that formally separate the kitchen/den and living room, a Juliet balcony in the den and the granite topped glass counter bar in the kitchen. The Cherokee features a live-in super, gated security with a video and voice intercom system, a laundry room, bike room and basement storage. Utilities are included in the monthly maintenance expense. Subletting, pied-a-terres, co-purchasing, guarantors and investors are all allowed here at this flexible pet-friendly cooperative. Its location next to the John Jay Park and East River promenade provides access to all of the great outdoor amenities including a public swimming pool and river trails nearby. The Cherokee Building is a stunning and historic pre-war complex built in the early 1900's as a haven for tuberculosis patients seeking abundant light and air. These qualities are evident throughout the complex with open stairways and richly-tiled passageways connecting the interior courts with the streets. It is also important to note the master tile work of Raphael Gustavino in the exquisite architectural details. For any questions or if you would like to schedule an appointment to see this magnificent space, please reach out to us at anytime and we will be happy to accommodate you.
