Description

SUN-FILLED CORNER JUNIOR ONE BEDROOM

Oversized and quiet renovated studio enjoys a loft-like 28 foot expanse with sunny sky-filled views East. A divider wall with display shelving and a pocket door creates a king size bedroom. The F-line is one of the largest studio lines in the building, with incredible storage, including two walk-ins and one double wide closet.

The South-facing windowed eat-in kitchen is open to a dining foyer and outfitted with granite counters and breakfast bar, ceiling height wood cabinetry and new stainless appliances, including a full-size dishwasher. Adjacent to a windowed ceramic tile bath is a dressing room that has a deep closet with beautiful wood and glass paneled sliding French doors. Additional niceties include Cityproof soundproof windows, high ceilings, slate stone and oak hardwood floors.

Perfectly located in the heart of Midtown, in the historic Murray Hill district, this intimate mid-century modern cooperative of 40 apartments has an elegant terrazzo stone lobby, dual entry video intercom security, live-in superintendent who accepts packages, central laundry, bicycle and private cage storage (fee). The building has completed major capital improvement projects including a new elevator and laundry room and is now wired for FiOS.

Shareholders welcome their proximity to Grand Central Station and the Midtown Tunnel, the East River ferry, St. Vartan Park’s playground, tennis, handball and basketball courts, AMC Kips Bay IMAX, and many of the city’s finest restaurants, boutiques and grocers, including Fairway Market and Trader Joe’s. The reimagining of the East Midtown Waterfront esplanade between 38th and 61st Streets is underway and slated to soon complete. Guarantors, co-purchasing, gifting, pied-a-terre ownership and pets permitted.

    "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.

    "Within walking distance of Penn Station, but less grungy and unsafe-feeling than west side of Midtown. (Still lots of homeless in western part of neighborhood around Fifth Ave. though). Pretty safe, though few places are as safe in 2020 as they were a year or two ago."
