Rarely do you find this combination of space, turnkey condition, flexibility, and convenience. This gut-renovated corner 2-bedroom/2-bathroom condop at The Hawthorne offers nearly 1,300 square feet (estimated), generous storage, reasonable monthlies, no board interview, and liberal subletting, all just moments from the E, M, and 6 trains. Click the virtual tour to explore the full layout. More than a cosmetic renovation, the home was completely redone with new electrical, plumbing, recessed lighting, flooring, kitchen, bathrooms, and thoughtfully designed custom storage throughout. The result is sophisticated but highly functional. It is equally comfortable for everyday living, entertaining, working from home, or settling in for the long term. A gracious entry foyer lined with custom closets opens into an expansive living and dining area with wide-plank hardwood floors and excellent natural light. The scale easily accommodates a true dining area, oversized living room furniture, and a dedicated work-from-home setup without compromising the flow of the room. Designed by a chef for both cooking and entertaining, the open kitchen features custom cabinetry and elegant stone countersplash, abundant storage, a concealed walk-in pantry, Thermador and Fisher & Paykel appliances, a professional-grade gas range, and pot filler. The kitchen has been opened to the living space with a breakfast bar, creating a more modern and social layout. Both bedrooms are tucked away from the street for exceptional quiet and offer impressive proportions and customized closets that were repositioned to maximize usable space. The primary suite includes a beautifully renovated en-suite bath, while the second full bath is equally polished with oversized tilework, contemporary fixtures, floating vanities, and backlit mirrors. The Hawthorne is a full-service, pet-friendly condop offering the flexibility of no board interview and liberal sublet policies. Building amenities include a 24-hour doorman, live-in superintendent, furnished roof deck, bike room, laundry facilities, storage available for rent, and an attached third-party garage. At the crossroads of Midtown East and Sutton Place, the location is exceptionally convenient to the E, M, and 6 trains, crosstown transportation, Whole Foods, Trader Joe's, Equinox, SoulCycle, restaurants, shopping, offices, and easy connections throughout Manhattan and to the airports.
