Modern and efficient, this 586-square-foot, two-bedroom, one-bathroom unit located in the southwest section of East Harlem is a rare find for this price and superb location. Newly renovated, this second-floor apartment features dark hardwood flooring, large windows, radiator heating, recessed lighting, and a washer and dryer. The combination eat-in kitchen and living room comes equipped with new appliances, including a dishwasher and microwave, and enough space for a sofa and small coffee table. Both bedrooms offer windows and closets and are large enough to accommodate queen-size beds. Rooms can be furnished upon request. Located just north of Upper East Side, East Harlem is one of Manhattan’s best neighborhoods for the price and location. Highly sought-after for its proximity to nearby attractions and the active nightlife it boasts, East Harlem is home to many families, young adults, and college students who work or attend school in Manhattan or one of New York’s other four boroughs. Walkable streets offer a seemingly endless supply of Latin American restaurants and ethnic shops for you to explore. Puerto Rican and Italian roots run deep through East Harlem and give it that unique culture that many speak of when discussing El Barrio. The culture and history of this vibrant neighborhood are probably best seen in this neighborhood’s famous street art and murals. With multiple subway stations along Lexington Avenue, East Harlem is an easily accessible neighborhood in the heart of Manhattan. This apartment is in an immaculate, pre-war building that offers an elevator and the opportunity to live a block from 5th Avenue and Central Park. From the front steps, it is an eight-minute walk to Central Park North station for the 2 and 3 trains on the IRT Broadway-Seventh Avenue Line. This smoke-free apartment also comes with WiFi and a large flat-screen TV. For those who drive, street parking is also available. You have the option of renting a room or the entire apartment if available.
