About This Property
A bright, generously proportioned studio in an Upper East Side condominium, Apartment 5R at 1420 York Avenue offers an attractive opportunity for first-time buyers, investors, or those seeking a Manhattan pied-à-terre. This west-facing residence combines excellent natural light, a versatile layout, and the flexibility of condominium ownership, representing an attractive entry point and compelling value in the Upper East Side condominium market.
Large windows overlooking York Avenue fill the apartment with afternoon light, while the spacious, open layout creates an inviting sense of space and versatility.

Conveniently located on the Upper East Side, with easy access to neighborhood restaurants, shopping, transportation, and the East River waterfront.
