Description

Checking almost every box, this 1 bedroom, 1.5 bath coop is that classic New York apartment you only see in the movies. It starts with the extremely spacious living room, clad with exposed brick and a gas fireplace. The huge kitchen, which is double the size of a standard galley kitchen, has two oversized windows and a built in desk area. The bedroom can easily fit a King-sized bed (which is there currently) and has the added bonus of California closets. In addition, the apartment includes a sunny terrace with skyscraper views and a washer/dryer to boot! Located only two flights up in a beautiful prewar townhouse off of Lexington Avenue, this apartment oozes originality and is luxuriously renovated so you can move right in. And only one apartment per floor gives you the utmost of privacy.

Sip some wine on the balcony, accommodate your guests with the extra half-bath and cozy up in front of the fireplace- you won't find anything else like this in this price point! Maintenance is 81% tax-deductible too!

Pets allowed...but sorry, no dogs.

Murray Hill offers a central Manhattan location with a surprisingly neighborhood-like feel. Known for its historic 'Sniffen Court' and a mix of mid-century high-rises and 19th-century townhouses, it is a popular choice for professionals seeking proximity to Grand Central and Midtown. The neighborhood is particularly well-regarded for offering a wide range of price points, from entry-level studio cooperatives to expansive luxury penthouses.
