865 First Ave, 9-C

Right next to the United Nations, in one of Midtown East's most distinguished prewar condominiums, Residence 9C is a sun-filled one-bedroom, one-bath home with double exposures East and West — and the gracious proportions of a bygone era. The spacious living room a rare and tranquil backdrop that changes beautifully with the light throughout the day. The oversized bedroom is tucked away from street noise and opening onto quiet, leafy views that feel worlds away from the city below. An oversized welcoming foyer sets a gracious tone from the moment you arrive — generous enough to serve as an entry gallery, home office, or library. The windowed kitchen is outfitted with custom cabinetry, granite countertops, a Sub-Zero refrigerator, stainless steel appliances, and natural stone floors. Original architectural details including high beamed ceilings carry throughout the residence, lending warmth and character that newer construction simply cannot replicate. 865 UN Plaza is an elegant, pet-friendly full-service condominium, offering a 24-hour doorman, live-in resident manager, central laundry, bike storage, and a beautifully appointed slate-floored lobby. Surrounded by the UN Rose Garden, East River Greenway, and Peter Detmold Park, with convenient access to Grand Central, the FDR Drive, and the Midtown Tunnel. Residence 9C is a rare opportunity to own a corner home of genuine prewar character in one of the most quietly remarkable addresses in Midtown East.
