We are a semi retired couple, an architect and a clinical psychologist, who did our graduate training, met and married in New York City. After years of raising our children in the suburbs, we searched for 3 years to find our perfect apartment for this next chapter of our life. We then sold our house and moved back to NYC. We wanted a light-filled apartment, with enough space, a big kitchen, and views, in a safe doorman building, near public transportation in a community neighborhood- oh and did I mention we wanted an elevator? We have loved living here: enjoying the variety of the art, theatre, music, restaurants and dance here in the city. And being able to get to the airport using public transportation is wonderful, as we love to travel. For those of you interested, we also rent another property in the INESCO town of San Miguel de Allende, Mexico during spring and fall months (VRBO #699775).

This is a wonderful apartment in a Art Deco pre-war building well constructed with sound insulation between units, and high ceilings, There are two little parks nearby, ( not to mention our proximity to Central Park) and a walkway and bikeway along the river. Our building doormen who man the door until 11 pm every night, are friendly, helpful and maintain security. There are only 4 apartment per floor so it does not feel institutional, and the building has 2 elevators. Two hospitals are nearby as is advanced medical care. Our trustworthy maid, Maria, has cleaned this apartment for over 15 years, and will wash your personal laundry and change your bedding and towels weekly, as well as cleaning the apartment each week.

Why this apartment? As they say in real estate: Location, Location, Location !! We are no more than one block from 2 subway lines, 3 bus lines, and local restaurants and 1/2 a block from pharmacies, banks, grocery stores, convenience stores, cleaners, in short anything you are likely to need! and we are 4 blocks away from Central Park and famous Museum Mile.
