What's special
Sunny modern studio located one block from Central Park! Just recently renovated, no corner was left untouched in Apartment 9B. The kitchen was taken down to the studs and built back out to incorporate a standing fridge, induction cook top and all brand new cabinetry and countertops. The bathroom also saw a complete update and now features brand new stonework, lighting, and fixtures including the pedestal sink, toilet, and vanity. New flooring runs throughout the apartment and additional storage has been incorporated into the ceiling just above the entry for hidden space-saving solutions. Triple exposures, oversized Gothic-inspired windows, and voluminous 10" ceilings allow for stunning views and excellent natural light throughout the day. 52 East 78th Street is a boutique pre-war cooperative that was formerly part of Finch College campus and gives the building its name, The Finch. The Finch has an excellent location on a tree-lined street just one block from Central Park and in the midst of all the Upper East Side has to offer, including the Metropolitan Museum of Art, Lenox Hill Hospital, Frick Madison, The Mark Hotel as well as all of the renowned art galleries, fine dining, and luxury shopping to be had on Madison Avenue. Excellent transportation options are right at your door, including multiple bus routes and easy access to the 79th Street Transverse as well as the 77th Street subway station. The Finch is an elevator building that proudly boasts a part time doorman, live-in resident manager, and laundry room. Doorman hours are Monday to Friday 12-8 PM and Saturday & Sunday 2-10 PM. Board application and interview required.
