This apartment has been completely modernized with no detail left untouched. The apartment features gorgeous oak hardwood floors, crown molding, granite countertops, exposed brick, stainless steel appliances including a dishwasher and a marble tiled bathroom. The Southern light coming in from three oversized windows is abundant and the apartment's rear location in the building is quiet and serene with trees providing a splash of green color and privacy during the warm months. The full sized kitchen also has an alcove that could fit a small dining or café table.   The location in the high 70's between 3rd Ave and 2nd Ave could not be more ideal, situated two blocks from the 77th Street 6 train, five blocks from the south entrance of the 86th street Q train and one block from the cross town 79th Street bus. This prime UES locale also provides amazing proximity to such drinking and dining hot spots as Sushi Noz, Penrose, Pura Vida, La Pecora Bianca, Butterfield Market, Pastrami Queen, Eataly Caffe, Anita Gelato, San Matteo, Stumble Inn, Pil Pil, Uva and much more.     This professionally managed 5 story walk up boutique co-op allows co-purchasing, parents buying for children, gifting, pied-a-terre and is very INVESTOR FRIENDLY with renting allowed from day 1 with board approval. There is no flip tax, making this a great investment opportunity for both owner occupants and investors alike.
