211 E 88th St

You know that feeling when you walk into a space and immediately think, "This is it"? That's what this apartment delivers. It's a true one-bedroom in a classic NYC walk-up but not the kind that leaves you breathless every day just getting home. It's perched perfectly on the 3rd floor (2 Flights up): high enough to avoid street-level nuisances and most critters, but low enough that your legs won't hate you. And it faces the front, looking out onto a beautiful, tree-lined street. You'll catch glimpses of the city's charm without the blaring sirens of a major avenue so you can get a peaceful nights rest. Step inside and you'll find it's been recently renovated with all the right touches. There's a real kitchen not a hallway with a hotplate complete with a full-size fridge, a gas stove, and yes, even a dishwasher. There's space for a small dining table, so you can actually cook and sit down to eat rare in this price range. And then there's the location the kind you brag about to friends who are still Ubering everywhere. You're surrounded by everything: Whole Foods, Target, H&M, incredible restaurants, bars, and shopping. And with four subway lines just a few minutes away (both local and express), you can be downtown, midtown, or across town in no time. Rain or snow, your commute is easy and that kind of convenience? It's pure gold in this city. Best of all? There's no broker fee if you reach out directly. Now, the catch because there's always one in New York: This is a co-op, not a standard rental. That means the building is a little more selective which, honestly, is a good thing. It keeps the vibe quiet and the neighbors respectful. But yes, you'll need good credit, an income of at least 40x the rent, and no pets or smoking are allowed. Still reading? That probably means you're the type of person this place is perfect for. And if you know NYC, you know how rare it is to find something that checks all the boxes like this. Give me a call and come see what "just right" really looks like.
