Property Details
Description
COZY, RENOVATED, AND DRIPPING WITH PRE-WAR CHARM, THIS PERFECT STUDIO IS A STARTER'S DREAM OR AN IDEAL SECOND HOME!
This chic home has been thoughtfully remodeled from top-to-bottom starting with the sizable walk-through kitchen that offers stainless steel appliances, a breakfast bar, granite countertops, elegant cabinetry, and ample storage. The lovely subway titled bathroom has been graciously upgraded and features a handsome pedestal sink and nooks for storage.
The generous, deep living space is highlighted by double north-facing windows that enjoy both East 27th Street's treetops and a peak of the iconic Chrysler Building. Further accentuating the space are 9+ foot ceilings, pristine oak hardwood flooring throughout, and space for both living and sleeping. To that point, the home is delivered with a "too-good-to-be-true" Murphy bed and custom built-in closet. Rounding out this home are two perfect arched doorways and closet space at every turn.
Perfectly situated in the dynamic neighborhood of Kips Bay, between Gramercy Park amd NoMad, this home is located steps from dining, cafes, and boutiques. Beyond that, Kips Bay Cinema, Fairway Market, and the 6 Train are mere blocks away. Also nearby is the NYU Langone Medical Center, Bellevue and Tisch Hospitals, Baruch College and the School of Visual Arts.
Two years after the date of closing subletting is allowed indefinitely. Pied-a-terre's, and pets are allowed, as well as gifting and co-purchasing with board approval.
