    Discover elegant city living in this bright and inviting alcove studio perched on the 8th floor of The Salem House—a distinguished post-war condominium in the heart of the Upper East Side. Bathed in southern light, Residence 8A is warm and inviting, with a thoughtful layout that maximizes both style and functionality. The kitchen is outfitted with high end Kohler fixtures, custom glass tile backsplash, and 42 inch wood cabinetry with deep shelving for exceptional storage. Black granite countertops and a 24 inch stainless steel gas range add a sleek, contemporary finish. Sophisticated details continue throughout the home, including porcelain tile flooring, custom plantation shutters, granite windowsills, and refined trim framing the windows. Comfort is ensured year round with a thermostat controlled HVAC system, while four generously sized closets offer impressive storage for a studio layout. The Salem House provides a full range of amenities, including a full-time doorman, central laundry room, landscaped roof deck, and an on-site parking garage. The building is pet friendly, welcoming furry friends up to 35 lbs (with one dog allowed per apartment). Step outside of the building and indulge in the dynamic lifestyle of the Upper East Side. From serene parks, vibrant cafes, museums and more, everything you need is just moments away. With convenient access to public transportation, commuting across the city is seamless, bringing the very best of Manhattan right to your doorstep.
