Description

Why rent when you can buy in an amazing location? Welcome this North-facing studio on a charming tree-lined block in Midtown East, where classic architecture meets modern convenience. This lovely space boasts ceilings over 9 feet high, original hardwood floors, elegant crown moldings, arched doorways, and abundant storage with two large closets. Nestled in a boutique 16-unit pre-war co-op at 237 East 54th Street, this four-story building, built in 1900, retains much of its original charm. The building is well-maintained with excellent financials, resulting in incredibly low monthly maintenance fees that make it an ideal option for first-time buyers. The inviting entrance, Victorian-style wallpaper, naturally lit hallways, and skylit stairwell create a welcoming ambiance. Flexible co-op rules allow for pied-à-terre, gifting, parents buying, guarantors, and even subletting after two years of ownership. Conveniently located near the 6, E, M, 4, 5, N, R, and W subway lines, Grand Central Station, and two Citi Bike stations, this prime Midtown location offers easy access to everything. A variety of grocery options, including Whole Foods and Trader Joe’s, are just minutes away, along with shopping at Bloomingdale’s and fitness options like Equinox and SoulCycle. Enjoy the nearby East River Esplanade for a scenic escape, and find several nearby laundry facilities for added convenience. This budget-friendly studio is an excellent investment in Sutton Place, ideal for those looking to customize their own space. With a little love, this classic apartment can become your dream home. Showings are available with 24 hours’ notice, as it is currently tenant-occupied. Don’t miss this fantastic opportunity to make it your own! Please call, text, or email with any questions. Pets are welcome with board approval. Photos are virtually staged.
