Description

**Calling all deal seekers

Available immediately we have this charming AND spacious Jr. 1 bedroom that is sure to check all the boxes.
Oh, and it's only on the 2nd floor of a walk up.

Working from home and just feeling the need for more space? This living room is truly the perfect size for creating that office/living space combo. Between the high ceilings and 2 large windows, your new work-from-home set up will be something out of a dream.

The kitchen proudly boats some great space overall, by NYC kitchen standards!
Plenty of room to move around, as well as good counter space. There's even some extra room for a bar cart, or a pantry!

In the bathroom, you'll see where retro meets modern! Ideal for those interior decorators who just have that unique eye! Looks aside, there's also ample storage with shelving behind the mirror as well as a cupboard under the sink.

Speaking of storage, there are two, that's right, **two** closets in the entryway. If you've ever lived in Manhattan, you know this is truly a score!

Lastly, the bedroom is cozy, but will still fit a queen size bed. There's also a massive window that will have the sun greeting you each and every morning.

The neighborhood is nothing but convenience with countless restaurants, grocery stores, as well as multiple Subway lines all at one stop! (E,M,6 at 53rd & Lex)

    "not safe to be out after late hours or late walks in this area. Housing projects make it very unsafe for anyone to be around and cops don’t regulate it "

    "Pied a terre since 2020 ground floor studio in a mediocre building with a great private backyard garden. Great places to walk, east river, Beekman Place, convenient to everything in midtown. Side streets are mostly quiet and tree lined. Reasonable rents in B properties near luxury buildings. Not cheap but you don’t need to be rich to live here. "
