Impeccably renovated Upper East Side one-bedroom at The Salem House, featuring a brand-new kitchen, bathroom, and hardwood floors throughout.
The living room is filled with natural light and offers engaging skyline views, which extend into the queen-sized bedroom. This spacious residence also features five deep closets, providing the abundant storage Manhattan buyers are always looking for.
The windowed kitchen is thoughtfully designed with stone countertops, stainless steel appliances—including a Bosch dishwasher—a five-burner gas range, subway tile backsplash, high-end white cabinetry, and soft-close drawers.
The bathroom has been fully renovated with sleek, modern finishes, including ceramic tile floors, subway tile walls, and polished stainless steel fixtures. Both the kitchen and bathroom are windowed—an uncommon and highly desirable feature in New York City.
The Salem House is a full-service condominium located on a quiet, tree-lined street in the heart of the Upper East Side. Residents enjoy a rooftop deck with sweeping 360-degree views of Manhattan and the East River, a full-time doorman, live-in superintendent, laundry room, and bike storage.
Conveniently located near the Second Avenue Q subway and the 79th Street crosstown bus. Directly across from Carl Schurz Park, a beautifully maintained 15-acre park with a playground and two dog runs.
Surrounded by charming cafes, restaurants, and specialty shops, this home offers a quintessential Upper East Side lifestyle.
