Description

Welcome to 508 East 78th St #6A, a serene and sun-filled 2-bedroom, 1-bathroom apartment located on the 6th floor of the charming Cherokee building on a quiet, tree-lined street in the heart of the Upper East Side. With its oversized windows, high ceilings, and recent updates, this apartment offers a perfect blend of classic New York charm and convenience.
As you enter, you’re greeted by an open living space filled with natural light streaming through large windows. The layout provides a cozy atmosphere, ideal for both relaxing after a long day in the city.

The functional kitchen has clean white cabinetry, newer appliances, and lots of countertop space for the active home chef.
The bathroom has been updated with a new vanity sink, re-glazed tub, and fresh tile work, offering a bright feel. Beautiful hardwood floors run throughout the apartment, adding warmth and a touch of pre-war warmth to every room.
Keep the current 2-bedroom layout with an eat-in kitchen, or easily transform it into a spacious one-bedroom home with a dedicated dining area and living room for a more expansive feel. The possibilities are endless.
The Cherokee is a landmarked Beaux-Arts building, offering both charm and peace of mind.

Situated next to John Jay Park, residents have easy access to lush green spaces and an outdoor swimming pool, perfect for those warm summer days. The building is pet-friendly, allowing you to enjoy life with your furry companions, and boasts flexible co-op rules that make it an even more attractive option.
Tucked away on a peaceful, tree-lined street, this home is also ideally located just blocks from the new Second Avenue Q train station, providing quick and convenient access to the rest of the city. In addition, the vibrant neighborhood offers an abundance of shopping, dining, and cultural options, with East River Esplanade just moments away for leisurely walks or outdoor recreation.
Gas, electric, heat, and water are all included in the low monthly maintenance, offering added savings while making for a hassle-free living experience.

Cherokee Co-op rules are flexible and attractive to owners and investors alike; pied-a-terre, guarantors, parents buying for children, pets, subletting are all OK!

Washer/Dryer are allowed in units.
Whether you’re looking for a peaceful retreat in one of New York’s most desirable neighborhoods, or a well-updated home to grow into, this apartment offers the perfect space to call home.
