About This Property
Beautifully Renovated Home with Stunning Views!
Welcome to this sun-drenched, fully renovated corner residence at The Forum. This exceptional two bedroom, two bathroom home pairs spectacular city views to the south and west.
Oversized windows frame sweeping city views, filling the home with natural light throughout the day. Enjoy the ever changing skyline from the comfort of your living room or take in the spectacular views from your private balcony. The combination of open sky, cityscape and beautiful afternoon light, makes this home feel both expansive and inviting.
The renovated kitchen is as beautiful as it is functional, with a clean, contemporary design and carefully selected finishes. Its open layout connects seamlessly to the living and dining areas, creating an ideal setting for everyday living and entertaining. The two renovated bathrooms are equally impressive, featuring meticulous attention to detail, refined finishes, and a polished, cohesive aesthetic. Throughout the home, the renovation reflects a thoughtful approach to both style and practicality.
A desirable split bedroom layout provides privacy and flexibility, with bedrooms positioned on opposite sides of the living space. Generous closet storage, an IN UNIT WASHER/DRYER and the comfort of a corner apartment add to the home’s appeal.
The Forum is a condop, which allows subleasing from day one of ownership. Located on a quiet residential street between First and Second Avenues right near the Q train. Amenities include a full-time doorman, fitness center and rooftop deck.
The location offers easy access to neighborhood restaurants, cafés, shopping, transportation and the many conveniences that make this part of Manhattan so enduringly popular.
With its stunning views, meticulous renovations, private balcony, thoughtful layout, and outstanding building features, this is a rare opportunity to enjoy the best of Upper East Side living.

Agent's Note
From Curtis Bain. Details about the apartment are drawn from the listing information provided through RLS by Compass.
Laundry is handled inside this apartment, with a washer and dryer in the unit, so you won't be making trips to the building's shared room. The renovated kitchen is open to the living and dining areas, so cooking and entertaining share one space, and the breakfast bar gives you a spot to sit while someone else cooks. The trade-off is that the kitchen and living room are less separated, so cooking smells and clutter carry further.
The bedrooms sit on opposite sides of the living space, a split layout that gives each one more separation from the other. Closet storage is generous, and both bathrooms were renovated, so there's less to do once you move in.
The corner position and the balcony are what I'd focus on. The balcony is under 60 square feet, which is small, but it gives you open air without leaving the apartment. The views face south and west, and the listing describes afternoon light that fills the rooms.
The building has a full-time doorman according to the listing, along with a gym, a sauna, a steam room, a roof deck, a bike room, a package room, garage parking and an elevator. Cats and dogs are allowed. The Q train at 72 St is about 4 minutes on foot, and the 6 at 77 St is about 9 minutes. For groceries, A Matter of Health and Gristedes are each about 3 minutes away, and Morton Williams is about 4 minutes.
