Property Details
Description
Turn this bright art deco, one bedroom gem in Midtown East/Murray Hill into your own restful sanctuary! Located on a high floor in one of New York City's most well-preserved art deco buildings, this home has preserved its original pre-war details and charms including oversized casement windows with city views, high beamed ceilings, and the original hardwood parquet floors.
Enter into the windowed foyer with a coat closet and gallery wall that can also be used as your very own breakfast nook or dining area. The kitchenette is tucked beside its own east-facing window. The sunny 11' x 18' bedroom is large enough for king or queen bed and has North, East, and West exposures for the light to beam in all day long. The bedroom even has a perfect nook for a home office in one corner for your work-from-home days. You could also use that area to organize your household needs and personal accessories in your own dressing area. The bright and spacious living room is complete with three huge closets and beautiful built-in shelving ready for your interior design to shine.
Call your friend the contractor or architect to come with when you visit!
The building was designed in 1930 by the renowned architectural firm, Bien & Prince, and features terrazzo floors, an art deco fireplace in its lobby, and a landscaped common roof deck with jaw-dropping views of the nearby Empire State Building. Close to Grand Central Station, Bryant Park, The Empire State Building and The Chrysler building, the convenience of this location is unmatched. Eastside transportation can whisk you to Madison Ave shopping or East Village eateries in a flash. The well-managed coop recently installed two new elevators. The Board ensures that the building is maintained in great shape and they keep a keen eye on its fiscal health too. Amenities include: A part-time attended lobby (7 days per week), a live-in super, central laundry, and both bike and cage storage available for a fee. Pied-A-Terre buyers and co-purchasing are allowed. Sorry, dogs are not allowed.
Please note the apartment will be shown empty; virtual photos of furnishings are provided for guidance and to highlight the potential of this opportunity.
