Description

Welcome to this stylish and spacious two-bedroom apartment in the heart of Midtown East, offering the perfect blend of comfort, convenience, and modern design.

Bathed in warm eastern light, this approx. 1,000 sq ft home features a smart layout with a converted dining area that serves perfectly as a second bedroom, guest space, or home office. The renovated kitchen is a chef's delight-outfitted with a sleek Bertazzoni stove, Bosch dishwasher, and plenty of cabinet space, all thoughtfully designed for both cooking and entertaining.

Enjoy the added luxury of an in-unit Bosch washer and dryer-an uncommon find in co-op living. Beautiful hardwood floors, generous storage, and a welcoming ambiance make this a true place to call home.

This well-maintained full-service building features a 24-hour doorman, live-in superintendent, laundry room, bike storage, and parking garage. Situated just moments from the 4/5/6 subway lines and the 57th Street crosstown bus, commuting is easy and efficient.

The co-op offers flexible policies including subletting, gifting, co-purchasing, and pied- -terre use. Nearby, you'll find Whole Foods Market, Equinox, and top-tier dining options like Mr. Chow, Club A Steakhouse, and The Lobster Club.

Don't miss this opportunity to own a beautiful apartment in one of Manhattan's most vibrant neighborhoods. Reach out today to schedule your private showing.
