There is a 75 square foot south facing balcony that you could conveniently access from the dining area. Indoor deeded parking space 28 is available for purchase in the building's onsite garage. The 421a tax exemption goes through June 30, 2026.

Unit 8M has been upgraded with custom bookshelves in the living room and new appliances. There are Oak pearl engineered hardwood floors throughout. Open to the corner living room is the spacious south facing windowed kitchen featuring the Italian designed SMEG wall oven within a wall of white pine cabinets. There is a large white Corian Island with a deep integrated sink, a Grohe faucet and an inlaid five-burner gas stove. There is a new Beko stainless steel refrigerator, with an interior ice maker, and a new Bosch dishwasher.

Your main bedroom and your secondary bedroom are south facing with open views, and the rooms accommodate large beds with ample space remaining for nightstands, dressers, desks, and circulation. The main bedroom features a walk-in closet while the secondary bedroom has a large reach in closet.

The main bath is finished with pebbled and Himachal tiling, there is a trough sink with 2 faucets, a freestanding tub and a separate shower. The second bath has been detailed with Darius Design fixtures, custom-mounted teak cabinetry, and a rain shower head over a deep soaking tub.

The Murano was built in 2011. The building consists of 12 floors and 76 condominium units. Building amenities include a large fitness center, a residents' lounge, a children's playroom, a garden area on the ground floor and a residents' setback terrace with gas grills. The concierge is on duty 24/7 and there is a full-time resident manager. The Murano is pet friendly.

According to the architecture critic, Carter Horsley, The Murano is named after the island near Venice famed for its colorful glassmaking. The building has a computerized lighting system for its striking curtain wall exterior and lobby that changes its hue every hour. The Murano's entry design also pays homage to Venice's romance by surrounding itself with water over which small bridges are provided for residents and guests. Between the "moat" and the sidewalk are sunken landscaped areas.

The Murano is located less than one block from all the shops and great restaurants on Vernon Boulevard and two blocks from Gantry Plaza State Park. Whether you seek a 10-minute door-to-door commute to Grand Central on the 7 train, a relaxing commute aboard the NYC Ferry, a 5-minute stroll to the Michelin star Casa Enrique or dining out at home on your private balcony, Unit 8M at The Murano is the perfect place to call home. Trader Joe's and the future home of Target are located on Jackson Avenue.

Regarding deeded parking space 28, the space is available for $100,000. The monthly common charges are $153.80 and the monthly real estate taxes are $21.61.
