Description

Mixed-Use Renovated Townhouse in the heart of Murray Hill!

Can be delivered vacant or with tenants!

Situated on the Southwest corner of 36th street and Lexington Avenue, this rarely available corner brownstone was built in 1940 and has been beautifully renovated combining original character with a modern lifestyle. The single family townhouse boasts over 5,000 square feet of gorgeous, lovingly maintained interiors and luxurious finishes amid graceful proportions, 11-foot ceilings, and abundant light thanks to its triple exposure. A private elevator adds to the comfort of this pristine house.

Parlor Floor: Welcome to your Grand Entertaining level! This floor features an impressive custom designed chef’s kitchen including a five-burner La Corneau range with a vented hood, a Subzero refrigerator, Miele dishwasher, Wolf oven, and custom cabinets throughout by Poggen Pohl. This Living/Dining area is the perfect space to entertain your guests and opens to the 450 square feet private terrace. You will also find a powder room on this floor to accommodate your guests.

Third Floor: This floor offers a custom media room with a wet bar and wine cooler for a perfect movie night. A generously sized bedroom is also included on this floor.

Fourth Floor: This floor hosts the Master bedroom suite, an impressive dressing room professionally designed as well as a luxurious marbled bathroom with custom lacquered cabinetry. The Master bedroom has double exposures with beautiful views on the Chrysler Building.

Fifth Floor: This floor boasts two additional generously sized bedrooms as well as a full bathroom.

Entrance Level: The ground level is currently a rented office and can be configured for investment income, mixed use, or additional living space. An office configuration gives room for a waiting room, reception bathroom, and office. A residential configuration begins with a grand foyer with 1100 square feet of flexible space that would allow for a family room, library and a powder room. On this level is also ample storage with a coat closet and a storage room in the back.

Basement: The house also has a finished basement of approximately 500 sqf that includes laundry room, mechanical room, and abundant storage.
