630 1st Avenue #5H

5H is a quintessential one bedroom, facing west with views of the Empire State Building and St Vartan Park. The home brings in tons of natural light thanks to the building's set back of the tree-lined plaza and courtyard. The stove has been newly replaced, and the home has been freshly painted as well as cleaned. The price is reflective of a motivated seller and an as-is condition sale. Pied-a-terre, subletting, parents buying for children, and co-purchasing are all allowed. Pets are also allowed. Manhattan Place Condo was designed by Costas Kondylis, this full service luxury building offers a stunning renovated lobby with waterfall, a rooftop health club with full workout rooms, a 360 degree running track, indoor pool, hot tub, steam rooms and saunas, and two sundecks from which you’ll have gorgeous city and river views. In addition, there is a party room with piano and full kitchen, 24/7 laundry room, storage room and a children’s playroom. All is included in your monthly maintenance. This building is extremely well connected with the East 34th Street Ferry landing steps away, with scheduled trips to Brooklyn, Queens, Wall St & Rockaway, as well as Sandy Hook NJ, Nantucket and Martha’s Vineyard! There is an accessible parking garage directly next to the building and public transportation nearby, including the 4,5, 6, plus 7 train, buses and Grand Central Station. In fact, the M15 bus is on the corner of 1st Avenue and 36th Street; it can take you north towards the United Nations or Upper East Side. The apartment features a convenient laundry/mudroom equipped with a full-size washer and dryer. The neighborhood is very family-friendly, with Blue Ribbon Elementary School (PS. 281, The River School) and daycare across the street. A park with a kids' playground, turf field, basketball, pickleball, and handball courts is just across the avenue. Public transportation options include uptown bus stops on the block, a crosstown bus two blocks down, and a ferry stop nearby. NYU's new Children's Emergency Room is also just two blocks away. The area is quiet and residential, with no loud bars or restaurants on the surrounding blocks, but plenty of dining options one avenue over. The location offers easy and quick access to the FDR. The building community is welcoming, with many long-term owners and great doormen who have been there for over 30 years. Enjoy a perfect view of the 4th of July fireworks on the East River from the rooftop. There is a monthly special assessment of $98.99 for the building's underlying loan and $339.09 for elevator modernization through April 2025.
