Description

SUN FLOODED, UNIQUE HUGE ONE BEDROOM. This Condo, at this top location on the Upper East Side, comes up very rarely on the market. Having all the windows facing East/South, the abundance of light throughout the day transforms this space into an energy source of such good vibe that is very difficult to describe. You just feel it. To make it even more unique, there is a terrace running along the whole window facade of the flat, with view of rooftops, water towers and open skies.

Built in 1956 and converted to condominium in 1986, The Charles House is the only full service Condo building in this prime location on the Upper East Side that you can find for this budget. The apartment has a spacious living area, bathroom and kitchen in good condition, lots of closet space, a dining area that can be easily turned into a Jr 4, parquet floors and a huge bedroom with access to the terrace. You will fall in love with this unit, a block from Central Park, the Museum Mile and surrounded by the best designer's boutiques and fabulous restaurants such as St Ambroeus.

Also ideal as a pied a terre.
