Here is the gem you have been looking for. One flight up to this pre-war, oversized, and yes, renovated one bedroom home with NO BOARD APPROVAL! There are new wooden cabinets and granite counter tops in the large windowed kitchen The stainless steel appliances are brand new and feature a new dishwasher and microwave as well. The renovated windowed bathroom has Italian tile and a granite countertop. There are shorter buildings across the street which give you nice northern light all day long. There are recently refinished hardwood floors throughout. Washer/dryers are allowed in the units and are encouraged. The entry area and living areas have lovely arches as a visual separation of living areas which contribute to the pre war charm.
The building has a super who lives on the street, a private storage space which transfers with the unit, a bicycle storage area and a private garden in the back for building residents. 320 East 83rd Street is a half of block from the new Q train. There are so many local shops on Second and First Avenues you really get to know your neighborhood.
