Experience city living at its finest in this bright and spacious 1-bedroom, 1-bathroom co-op perched on the 17th floor of a full-service building in the heart of Manhattan. Bathed in natural light from its northern exposure, this beautifully updated home offers both comfort and flexibility-including an unlimited sublet policy after just one year of ownership. A welcoming foyer leads you into a generously sized living and dining area, perfect for entertaining or relaxing. The sleek, renovated kitchen is outfitted with premium stainless steel appliances, while a custom walk-in closet and built-in office space adds both functionality and style. The king-sized bedroom is large enough to accommodate additional furniture, and the en-suite bathroom features elegant tile work for a touch of luxury. Carlton East offers a suite of amenities including a full-time doorman, live-in superintendent, laundry facilities, optional storage cages, and free bike storage. The building allows 80% financing and is flexible with co-purchasing, guarantors and pied- -terres. Pets are allowed with board approval. Located above Whole Foods and just minutes from the upscale shopping and dining of Madison Avenue and 57th Street, you'll also enjoy convenient access to express and local subway lines (4/5/6, N/Q/R) at 59th & Lexington, E/M trains at 53rd Street, and crosstown M57 and M31 bus routes. There will be a four-year quarterly capital assessment of $9.40/share/year starting March 1st. The assessment will fund projects critical to maintaining and improving building infrastructure. Some of the projects that require funding through this assessment include HVAC & Plumbing Overhauls, Compliance with Local Law Regulations, and Elevator Modernization.
