Description
Perched on a high floor in a luxury, full-service building in the heart of Midtown, welcome home to this gracious one-bedroom that pairs a spacious floor-plan with sweeping iconic views of the Manhattan skyline. This West-facing home allows you ample space to grow into while checking every box that a homeowner would be looking for in their search. With five large closets, storage will never be an issue as it is so frequently with New York living. This both deep and wide living room not only can accommodate a large dining table but also a sizable set up for entertaining, so you don't have to choose between the two as often you do. A truly palatial bedroom gives you the flexibility to keep your home office in the room if you please. The pice de rsistance of this home is the generously sized balcony off the living room, offering tree top views of Central Park to your right, a stunning vista of the Hudson river directly in front of you, and a front row ticket to the New Year's Eve festivities in Times Square to your left. Built in 1968 with 37 floors and 214 units, Tower 53 is a luxury, full service building with 24 hour doorman, concierge service, live-in super, garage, roof deck with Central Park views, brand-new laundry room, recently fully redone lobby and elevators, on-site valet dry cleaning, package room, cold storage, and discounted internet/cable. Live/work and pets (up to 35lbs) are welcome. Here you get the best of both worlds: you'll find yourself a stone's throw from New York staples such as Central Park, Radio City Music Hall, Broadway theaters, and Carnegie Hall and also be able to quickly get to any part of the city thanks to the immediate proximity to the B/D/E/N/R/Q/W/1/2/3 trains. Please contact the exclusive agent for all inquiries and to schedule appointments. *Electricity, gas, and central AC are included in the monthly maintenance fee, with an additional fuel charge of $97.77, which is reflected in the quoted common charges. There is a capital assessment for local law 11 of $330.15 through December 2022*
