A lovely place to plant yourself. Expect to be delighted by this light, bright, renovated triplex apartment with semi-private landscaped garden. Upon entry, you are greeted by a custom kitchen and breakfast bar where gleaming stainless steel appliances pair with quartz countertops and glass tiles. A beautifully tiled full-bathroom and coat closet are also located on this level. Hardwood steps lead to the well-proportioned, south facing living/dining room with views of and access to the wonderful outdoor space. A spiral staircase takes you to the lower level, currently being used as a bedroom, with split system HVAC, two generous closets, windowed door with steps to the exterior garden, and a huge bathroom with double vanity and spa-like shower. Lutron lighting has been thoughtfully installed throughout. 312 East 89th Street is a well-maintained, boutique building with laundry in the basement. Located between 1st and 2nd Avenues, it is surrounded by excellent restaurants, grocery stores, Carl Schurz Park and all manner of transportation. Indefinite subletting after 3 years of occupancy and annual Board approval. Cats welcome. Sorry, no dogs. ***
