Description

In a charming 1916 coop on one of Murray Hill's prettiest blocks, this stylish two bedroom marries authentic Old New York with proper 21st Century upgrades. Original details include high beamed ceilings, arched entry ways, solid wood doors with transoms, hardwood floors, large windows and a winning floor plan. The extra wide foyer, with room for walls of books or an extra seating seating/dining space, flows elegantly into a nearly square living room where dining comfortably mixes with casual entertaining. A view through the living room's original multi-pane window features the astonishing dead-on spectacle of The Chrysler Building set against a pretty row of 19th Century townhouses. The cosmopolitan Calcutta marble kitchen is an immaculate showpiece, featuring an open sunny window, custom hand painted poplar cabinets with English polished nickel Armac Martin hardware, elegant marble counters with open walnut wood shelf, built-in table and hardwood oak floor. High end appliances include a Subzero Refrigerator, Smeg four burner stainless steel oven, and Miele washer/dryer, a rarity in the building. The master bedroom is bathed in soft northern light with two large closets and a renovated South facing full bath. A windowed half bath is adjacent to the second bedroom/study with a uniquely angled wall sized Southeastern window, offering a breathtaking view of the picturesque carriage house mews, National Historic Register Sniffen Court. Awash in light and three open exposures over tree tops, historic townhouses and an iconic New York skyscraper, this most attractive, well priced two bedroom is classic Murray Hill. 144 East 36th Street is a prewar elevator coop designed by George & Edward Blum with marble lobby, live in super, laundry room, bike room and storage (as available. Near Grand Central, Trader Joe's, Fairway and the best restaurants and shopping. 75% financing, pied-a-terres, and pets allowed.
