Description

Pristinely renovated two bed, one bathroom co-op with updated finishes and appliances located in the perfect Midtown Central/Central Park South location.

This sunny home is illuminated by abundant windows facing south, east and west and soaring 10 foot beamed ceilings. The expansive living room features mint maple hardwood floors throughout and is the perfect space for private relaxation and entertaining alike. The updated windowed kitchen combines function and style, with a full size Liebherr fridge and double freezer drawers to provide a more streamlined look while offering more space with upper cabinet storage. Expansive Caesarstone countertops, Porcelanosa tiling, a Miele dishwasher and Bertazzoni range complete the look.

A beautiful glass-paned door leads you to two large bedrooms, each with bright windows, maple hardwood floors and ample closet space. The bedrooms conveniently corner the spa-like, windowed bathroom, outfitted with luxurious Porcelanosa marble, a deep soaking tub with windowed shower, floating vanity and stylish, lacquered cabinetry.

27 West 55th Street is a prewar co-op with a charming lobby and just four apartments per floor. Residents of the pet-friendly 1923 building enjoy a live-in superintendent who collects packages, two elevators, laundry room, private storage bin and a bike room.

Located in Midtown Central/Central Park South, this home is situated in the heart of Manhattan, surrounded on all sides by world-class dining, nightlife, shopping and entertainment. Michelin-starred eateries The Modern, Caviar Russe and Le Bernardin surround the home, and MoMA, Rockefeller Center, Carnegie Hall and Radio City Music Hall are all within blocks. Enjoy an afternoon at Bergdorf's, Bendel's or Barneys, or enjoy the delights of Central Park just three blocks away. Transportation from this central neighborhood is effortless with F/M, E, N/Q/R/W lines nearby and A/C, B/D and 1 trains at Columbus Circle.
