Situated on a quiet, picturesque Upper East Side block just moments from the Promenade, Carl Schurz Park, and the East River, Apartment 1E at Gracie Gardens is an oversized one-bedroom easily convertible to two, with abundant south-facing windows and beautiful natural light throughout. Lush trees and garden views just outside the windows create a serene and inviting living environment. The home's open, loft-like layout is ideal for both relaxing and entertaining, featuring a nearly 25-foot living room, a separate dining area, and a fully outfitted open kitchen with stainless steel appliances and generous cabinet storage. The dining area offers flexibility that can be transformed into a second bedroom or home office if needed (see alternate floor plan). A spacious foyer, currently configured as a home office, adds to the apartment's versatility. Beautifully maintained hardwood floors and ample closet space enhance the home's functionality throughout. The very quiet corner bedroom enjoys sunlight from two exposures along with lovely garden views and is complemented by an adjacent windowed bathroom. Bright, flexible, and thoughtfully laid out, this sun-filled residence is positioned in an excellent full-service building in one of the Upper East Side's most charming and tranquil locations. 525 East 89th Street, also known as Gracie Gardens, is an elegant full-service cooperative designed by Sylvan Bien in 1942.
