Whether you're seeking a functional 3-bedroom layout or envisioning a reimagined 2-bedroom with a generous primary suite, this apartment offers the perfect canvas to customize to your needs.
The home features hardwood floors throughout, high ceilings, and oversized south-facing windows that flood the space with natural light.

Pieds-Ã -terre and guarantors are also considered, offering excellent flexibility for buyers.
Situated just two blocks from the Q train and a short distance from the 4/5/6 subway lines, this location offers quick access to Midtown and beyond. You're also just blocks from Central Park, Carl Schurz Park, the East River Promenade, and a wide variety of shops, grocery stores, and restaurants that make Yorkville one of Manhattan's most livable neighborhoods.
