Welcome to this beautifully renovated one-bedroom residence in the iconic Cherokee, offering a rare blend of historic New York charm and modern convenience.

Thoughtfully redesigned with custom built-in cabinetry and an efficient layout, every inch of this home has been optimized for comfortable living and exceptional storage.

The renovated kitchen features stainless steel appliances, including a microwave and dishwasher, while the rare in-unit washer/dryer adds everyday convenience seldom found in pre-war cooperatives.

Designed by renowned architects Henry Atterbury Smith and George F. Pelham, the landmarked Cherokee is one of Manhattan’s most distinctive pre-war cooperatives, celebrated for its striking Beaux-Arts architecture, open-air galleries, and beautifully landscaped courtyards. Residents enjoy a live-in superintendent, video intercom system, bike storage, and a pet-friendly environment.

A standout benefit of ownership at the Cherokee is that monthly maintenance includes both gas and electricity, providing meaningful savings and predictable monthly costs. Flexible subletting policies further enhance the property’s appeal for both primary residents and investors.

Ideally situated just moments from John Jay Park and the East River Greenway, this exceptional home offers easy access to waterfront recreation, neighborhood dining, and all the conveniences of the Upper East Side.
