405 East 82nd Street #5J

Classic One-Bedroom with 10-Foot Ceilings and Exceptional Flexibility Apartment # 5J is a wonderfully proportioned one-bedroom with approximately 10-foot ceilings, original wood floors and a comfortable, quietly residential feel. Located in a well-maintained elevator building, this inviting home offers the space and flexibility that make it equally appealing as a first home, pied-à-terre or investment property. The living room is well proportioned and enjoys a peaceful rear-facing outlook, while the adjacent kitchen is open to the living space and features classic white cabinetry, a generous breakfast bar and ceramic tile flooring. The original wood floors lend the apartment warmth and character, complementing the home's high ceilings and traditional proportions. The bedroom is also positioned at the rear of the building, creating a remarkably quiet sleeping environment and offering ample room for a king-size bed. Generous closet space throughout the apartment provides excellent storage, while the bathroom is a clean white ceramic, thoughtfully positioned racks, with a bathtub and shower; all well maintained. The building itself is incredibly well cared for, with an elevator and a convenient laundry room in the basement. Adding significant appeal for both homeowners and investors, subletting is permitted from the time of purchase, subject to board approval (providing a level of flexibility that is increasingly difficult to find). Located on a lovely tree-lined block, just moments from the Q subway and numerous bus routes, the home is surrounded by beloved family-run restaurants, gourmet markets including Agata & Valentina, and the bucolic Carl Schurz Park. It offers an ideal combination of residential tranquility and convenient access to the best of the Upper East Side. Whether you're looking for a first Manhattan home, a pied-à-terre or a flexible investment opportunity, Apartment # 5J presents an appealing combination of scale, character, location and value. We welcome you to schedule a private viewing.
