The windowed kitchen—a rarity in Manhattan co-ops—faces west and includes Bosch and GE appliances, a water-and-ice dispensing refrigerator, and generous cabinetry. The west-facing bedroom suite is generously sized and located behind elegant frosted-glass French doors and includes a seating/office area, an en-suite bath, and a walk-in closet that rivals the storage of a suburban home. Both bathrooms have been fully renovated with porcelain finishes and stylish fixtures. Freshly painted in 2023 and shown fully staged, the apartment feels bright, open, modern and immediately livable—yet offers incredible flexibility for a future reconfiguration. A proposed 2BR layout is available for review. Estimated renovation cost: ~$75,000.
