Description

Situated in prime Murray Hill off Lexington Avenue and East 36th Street, this sprawling four bedroom, four full bathroom home offers more than you could imagine. Originally three separate residences?a two bedroom, studio and one bedroom?5HJK proves to be one of a kind, both in the building and in the surrounding neighborhood.

A floor-through apartment with double exposure to the north and south, this massive home enjoys views of the Empire State Building and insulated heat, cool air, and lots of bright light through its oversized City Windows. Decked out with high-end finishes and a plethora of storage and closet space throughout, 5HJK provides a practical solution to upscale, urban living.

Upon entering the apartment, you are welcomed by an ornately decorated foyer. Once part of the common hallway, this additional entry space is unique to the apartment and is finished with a marble mosaic floor, decoratively honed at the edges. The foyer grants open and immediate access to the living areas on the left and the windowed kitchen on the right. The eat-in kitchen is fitted with top-of-the-line appliances, namely a Sub-Zero fridge and Bosch dishwasher, and complemented by a complete glass tile backsplash, black granite countertops, white cabinetry and porcelain tile flooring.

Through the kitchen or the entryway you will find the formal dining room that opens to the large living room. Perfect for entertaining, the massive dining and living room combo provides plentiful space for guests, while retaining a charming and cozy family environment. Off the dining room you have access to the master suite through a discreet pocket door, as well as access across the way to the second, third and fourth bedrooms.

Practically its own wing, the master suite boasts a long entry hallway with two walk-in-closets off the bedroom, one of which has its own hidden storage unit. The master bathroom is fit for a king and queen, with a steam shower and deep Jacuzzi tub. The final touch to the master suite is a bonus windowed room, currently outfitted as a gym, but easily used as an office or extra walk-in-closet. The remaining three bedrooms are all generously sized and come with their own respective bathrooms with custom finishes, such as a granite tub, mosaic tile, marble flooring. The largest apartment in the building, 5HJk is definitely the place you want to kick back, relax and call home.
