Welcome to 11E, an alcove studio on the 11th floor of The Salem House. With a smart, flexible layout that lives like a one-bedroom, this sun-drenched home is move-in ready and checks every box. The thoughtfully designed alcove creates a natural separation between living and sleeping spaces, offering the privacy and functionality of a true one-bedroom without the price tag. Renovated throughout, the apartment features an updated kitchen, refreshed bathroom, and floors that give the home a fresh, modern feel. City views and abundant natural light pour in all day, making this high-floor home feel open, airy, and expansive well beyond its footprint. The Salem House delivers full-service living with a 24-hour doorman, live-in superintendent, landscaped roof deck, garage, and laundry — all with low common charges and taxes. Located on a quiet, tree-lined block steps from Carl Schurz Park, Gracie Mansion, the East River Promenade, and the Q train. Whether you’re a first-time buyer, downsizer, investor, or seeking the perfect pied-à-terre, this is an opportunity to own a turnkey, renovated home in the heart of the Upper East Side. Common Charges $857.93 include water, sewer, cooking gas, and heat. Elevator Assessment $278.22 ends December 2026. Ongoing Capital Assessment $104.27 *Virtually staged photos included*
