Description

SUN-FILLED CORNER JUNIOR ONE BEDROOM

Oversized and quiet renovated studio enjoys a loft-like 28 foot expanse with sunny sky-filled views East. A divider wall with display shelving and a pocket door creates a king size bedroom. The F-line is one of the largest studio lines in the building, with incredible storage, including two walk-ins and one double wide closet.

The South-facing windowed eat-in kitchen is open to a dining foyer and outfitted with granite counters and breakfast bar, ceiling height wood cabinetry and new stainless appliances, including a full-size dishwasher. Adjacent to a windowed ceramic tile bath is a dressing room that has a deep closet with beautiful wood and glass paneled sliding French doors. Additional niceties include Cityproof soundproof windows, high ceilings, slate stone and oak hardwood floors.

Perfectly located in the heart of Midtown, in the historic Murray Hill district, this intimate mid-century modern cooperative of 40 apartments has an elegant terrazzo stone lobby, dual entry video intercom security, live-in superintendent who accepts packages, central laundry, bicycle and private cage storage (fee). The building has completed major capital improvement projects including a new elevator and laundry room and is now wired for FiOS.

Shareholders welcome their proximity to Grand Central Station and the Midtown Tunnel, the East River ferry, St. Vartan Park's playground, tennis, handball and basketball courts, AMC Kips Bay IMAX, and many of the city's finest restaurants, boutiques and grocers, including Fairway Market and Trader Joe's. The reimagining of the East Midtown Waterfront esplanade between 38th and 61st Streets is underway and slated to soon complete. Guarantors, co-purchasing, gifting, pied-a-terre ownership and pets permitted.
