About this House
A spacious & charming one-bedroom with bonus room and Empire State Building views seamlessly blends elegant pre-war character with timeless modern updates in the perfect location.
Enter the inviting foyer to be welcomed by 9' high ceilings amplifying a graciously proportioned living space with beautiful pre-war details. A renovated chef's kitchen showcases granite countertops and a new stainless steel range and dishwasher. The open layout offers ample closets throughout, beamed ceilings, original hardwood floors, and plenty of room for a separate dining table. Oversized windows facing south, north & west provide great natural lighting throughout the day and stunning open city views. The windowed bathroom has updated tiles, a stylized vanity, and a full-sized soaking tub. A brightly lit southern facing bedroom comfortably accommodates a California king bed, armoire, and large custom built-in closets.
