NEW TO THE MARKET: Oversized 1-Bedroom/Converted 2 in the Iconic Cherokee Building

Discover this stunning, oversized one-bedroom (converted to 2) in the Cherokee, a grand pre-war Beaux Arts landmark on the Upper East Side. Steeped in old-world charm, this building radiates elegant European ambiance. This highly coveted corner J line apartment, perched on the 2nd floor (walk-up), features floor-to-ceiling windows, high ceilings, and three beautiful balconies offering sweeping views of the East River and John Jay Park.

Flooded with natural daylight, this home invites you to relax and unwind on the balconies, enjoying the breeze and views over your morning coffee.

With excellent closet space and three private balconies, this spacious unit is a perfect urban sanctuary.

Investor-friendly, this apartment can generate rental income or serve as your dream first home in the Upper East Side. Maintenance includes all utilities-gas, electricity, heat, and hot water-offering convenience and ease of living.

The Cherokee also offers desirable amenities such as:

A live-in super

Video intercom system and overnight security

Bicycle room and central storage room

A landscaped courtyard and a newly updated laundry room

Located steps away from John Jay Park and the East River promenade, you'll enjoy easy access to outdoor spaces, plus a vibrant dining scene nearby. Popular spots like Quality Eats, Uva Wine Bar, Penrose, and newcomers like Thep and Mission Ceviche make this area a foodie's paradise.

Enjoy fresh gourmet shopping at Citarella, Agata & Valentina, Whole Foods, and the newly renovated Gracie's.

The apartment is currently tenant-occupied until March. Don't miss this rare opportunity!
