Your own TREASURE in the middle of NYC! The first time this rare prewar one-bedroom treasure has been on the market in 40 years! And it has a perfect patio! Yes, it is one of those gem properties that requires the vision and patience for a full renovation. Enter from the beautiful prewar lobby of 66 East 83 Street into your sunny, spacious and pleasant living room with a decorative fireplace that faces your very own secret south-facing private garden. The windowed kitchen can have all of the appliances for a dream chef's kitchen, and the windowed bathroom will also need to be renovated. Washer/dryer installation permitted! This home, wonderfully located two blocks from the Met and Central Park, needs all of your creativity and imagination for a beautiful restoration. Steps from the wonderful shopping and restaurants on the Upper East Side and near all locale transportation. The sister building on the corner (970 Park Avenue) has 24/7 staff for packages, security, and maintenance. Enjoy the benefits of a boutique building with staff support at your fingertips. Subletting is allowed 2 out of 4 years after 1 year of residence. Sorry, no pieds-a-terre. *Some of the rooms in this apartment have been virtually staged. Photos shown are for representation only. You will find the virtually staged room, followed by the original room.
