Description

Nothing on the market compares! Measuring approximately 1100sqft, with soaring 9'4" ceilings and oversized windows, this stunning turnkey 2bdrm/1.5bth prewar gem is the best value in Murray Hill-and, additionally, its half bath can be converted to a second full bath with board approval (as other units in the building have already done).
Boasting an abundance of prewar details throughout, the current owners have spared no expense to restore, enhance and expand the charm of this prewar classic. French doors, beamed ceilings, crown and base moldings, restored wood flooring with elegant marquetry, original and customized stained glass, picture rails, as well as period-appropriate fixtures which were privately sourced are just some of the many thoughtful details found throughout.

The apartment's wide entry hall is ideal for the display of artworks, features a sizable closet, and also allows for additional furnishings. At its end, one arrives in the bright, oversized living room, approximately 17'6 x 16'- which accommodates living as well as dining, features a wall of north-facing windows with charming treetop and townhouse views, and has through-the-wall A/C. From here, a second doorway leads to an L-shaped back hall, the first leg outfitted with custom storage, and to the right, a constellation of rooms: the Primary Bedroom; Walk-in Closet; Full Bath; Half Bath; and the Second Bedroom/Dining room.
The Primary Bedroom (approximately 13'6" x 11'6") receives abundant light from an oversized north-facing window, has through-the-wall A/C, and features a custom cobalt blue stained-glass transom window as well as a pocket door with matching multi-paned stained glass. Elegantly designed shelving and built-in drawers flank the doorway to the room-the latter with era-specific handles of bronze and braided leather. In the back hallway just beyond the bedroom, a large walk-in closet is located to the left, as is a renovated full bath. A renovated half bath is directly at the hall's end and features a multi-paned cobalt blue window and matching door knob, details original to the apartment. Both bathrooms have south-facing windows.
Continuing clockwise in the back hall is one of two entrances to the sunny Second Bedroom/Dining Room-the other entrance being a set of curtained, sound-baffling French Doors located in the apartment's entry hall. Approximately 15' x 13', this amply sized room features through-the-wall A/C, a sizeable closet with a hidden door, an angled window that captures both southern and eastern exposures, and can function as a Formal Dining Room, a Second Bedroom, a Home Office/Library-or be multi-purposed, depending on your needs.
The large windowed kitchen, located to the right of the entry hall, was artfully renovated to maximize storage and countertop space. It features a below the counter washer/dryer, a Viking range, Bosch dishwasher, as well as quartz countertops.
With a fluid and flexible layout that speaks to countless possibilities, come see this sunny prewar dream while it lasts! Built in 1916 by acclaimed architects George & Edward Blum, 144 East 36th Street is an elegantly appointed, well-maintained, pet friendly, 36-unit boutique cooperative with a superb live-in super, as well as a bike room and central laundry. Additional storage is available in the basement.
Located on a charming tree-lined street, right next door to the carriage houses of the Sniffen Court Historic District, don't let this one get away. Pied-a-terres, subletting, and up to 75% financing are permitted. Located near: NYU Langone, the Morgan Library & Museum, Bryant Park, Grand Central, Penn Station, Trader Joe's, Fairway, countless restaurants, and the very best of all Murray Hill has to offer.

* Please note: the color of the paint on the walls in the Primary Bedroom and back hallway is yellow presently; images have been altered to show what they would like white.

    "Pretty great access to transportation. Right down the block from Grand Central where many connecting routes are. This area has many private schools and studying/tutoring centers. There’s a plethora of food and dining as well, many modern places like branch food chains; but there’s also a handful of small “mom and pop” shops."

    "It’s so easy to get any transportation. If you want to go to the west side, take a bus. If you want to go up and down town, you just need to take green subway. So easy. "

    "It is in Manhattan yet it is very quiet. Actually it is the quietest place we ever lived in Manhattan. Yet, you are in walking distance from the UN, Grand Central Station, Times Square, Bryant Park etc. It is also safe being near the UN and having lots of police patrolling the area. We loved being able to walk to Broadway shows and eat Brazilian grilled meat in Times Square. It was nice to be able to take a train or a bus to most places or even a short taxi ride. You can take a bus on train from Bryant Park to Madison Square Garden too. Really this place is centrally located. It is super if you work at the UN and send your kid to the UN child care centre since you don't even have a commute. Everyone nearly has a dog and nobody bothers you. There are lots of nice restaurants in the area. The only down parts are that the buildings here are really old so don't usually have amenities that newer buildings have like swimming pools and gyms.
