I don't often venture to the Upper East Side. It's an area that is zoned mostly for residential and the inventory is vast. I do, however, like the East 60s and low East 70s. Before there was Carrie Bradshaw, there was Holly GoLightly, and she lived in the East 70s. It's an area that's aged well in terms of keeping its charm but not feeling stodgy.
Today I saw this one bedroom, on 72nd Street between Park and Lexington. It's a large and livable space in an elevator and laundry building. No doorman, but there's a great, live in super. Four blocks from the 68th Street subway station and a very short walk to Central Park.
It's $3200. Totally under priced for the amount of space and the clean renovation. It faces south and is pin drop quiet. Full specs here.
