About This Property

Alcove Studio with Terrace at The Forum

Bright and west-facing, this expansive alcove studio at The Forum offers an ideal layout that can easily be converted into a true one-bedroom. This 12th floor home features a private terrace with open, unobstructed city views, and a generously proportioned living and dining area that flows through floor-to-ceiling glass doors to the terrace.

The sleeping alcove comfortably accommodates a queen-sized bed, can be partitioned off to create a true bedroom, and is complemented by a full wall of closets, providing excellent storage.

The renovated kitchen opens to the living space and features white shaker cabinetry, quartz countertops with a breakfast bar, stainless steel appliances including a gas range and dishwasher, and designer hex-tile flooring. The renovated bath offers a soaking tub with built-in shower niches. Additional highlights include an in-unit washer/dryer, wide-plank hardwood floors throughout, and multiple closets.

The Forum is a full-service condop, a cooperative with condominium bylaws, at 343 East 74th Street, between First and Second Avenues. Built in 1987, the 25-story high-rise comprises 148 apartments, each equipped with its own washer/dryer, and offers a full-time doorman, a live-in superintendent, a 24-hour fitness center, sauna and steam rooms, a garage with direct elevator access, and a beautifully appointed rooftop deck. The building is unusually flexible: no board approval, 90% financing permitted, pieds-à-terre and investors welcome, flexible unlimited subletting, pets allowed, 49% of maintenance tax-deductible, and no transfer fee. The building sits on a land lease with roughly 110 years remaining (through 2136), and lease payments represent only a small fraction of the building's operating budget.

Conveniently situated in Lenox Hill, just moments from the Q train, John Jay Park, and the best dining, shopping, and amenities the Upper East Side has to offer
