About This Property
n the hush of a sunlit corner of the East Side, this spacious one-bedroom residence opens itself to light with quiet authority. Western exposures pour across a meticulously renovated, windowed kitchen of high-end refinement, while the large bedroom—graced by eastern light and a private balcony—invites the day to linger. Real hardwood floors run underfoot, new central air conditioning moves with near-silence, and generous cedar-lined closets in both living room and bedroom hold the scent of quiet luxury.
The kitchen is composed with intention: a brand-new LG refrigerator, still under a five-year warranty, stands beside a VinoTemp wine cooler; a Bosch dishwasher and Bertazzoni range complete a space made for both daily ritual and considered entertaining. Artemide sconces cast a measured glow.
One-and-a-half baths are fully tiled in the manner of a private sanctuary. The powder room presents a custom vanity with a Stone Forest sink; the main bath offers a Graff faucet, a 40-inch Robern medicine cabinet, and the clean geometry of a one-inch glass shower seat. An in-unit washer and dryer complete the sense of ease.
Carl Schurz Park and Central Park lie minutes away. The Second Avenue subway is within one block, placing Midtown, Downtown, and Brooklyn within effortless reach, while the 4, 5, and 6 trains are a short three-block walk. Fairway and Whole Foods—and soon Trader Joe’s—sit a block in either direction; two cinemas are within two blocks. Retail, dining, and daily essentials gather at the doorstep without disturbing the hush of a well-placed home.
The Mayflower itself rests in excellent financial condition, free of assessments. Converted from oil to gas, the building features a new boiler, updated HVAC, new elevators, and a renovated lobby. Residents enjoy a landscaped roof deck, building laundry, bike storage, 24-hour concierge, and a live-in superintendent.
A quiet, light-filled home with terrace, laundry, and open views—on one of the East Side’s most livable corners.
All Gas and Electric Included for 276.11.

Agent's Note
From Curtis Bain. Details about the apartment are drawn from the listing information provided through RLS by David Francis New York LLC.
This one-bedroom co-op has an entrance foyer, a dining area, and a kitchen with its own window, so the plan has a clear entry and a defined place to eat. The large bedroom has a balcony, which sets it apart from the rest of the apartment.
The kitchen has a Bosch dishwasher and a Bertazzoni range, along with a new LG refrigerator that's still under a five-year warranty, placed beside a VinoTemp wine cooler. A dishwasher and a wine cooler in one kitchen mean everyday cooking and having people over can share the same space without much shuffling.
The apartment has an in-unit washer and dryer, so laundry doesn't mean leaving the apartment, and the building has laundry as well. I'd look closely at the closets, since the listing describes cedar-lined closets in both the living room and the bedroom. Central air is in the unit too.
Both bathrooms are fully tiled. The main bath has a Graff faucet, a 40-inch Robern medicine cabinet and a glass shower seat, and the powder room has a custom vanity with a Stone Forest sink.
Groceries are close, with Whole Foods and Fairway each about two minutes on foot. The Q at 86th Street is about two minutes away, and the 4, 5 and 6 at the same station are about five minutes on foot. Asphalt Green is about ten minutes away.
The building has an elevator, a courtyard and a roof deck, and pets are allowed.
