Property Details
Description
Located in the heart of Murray Hill, this 6,862 square foot, 4-story, completely renovated elevator building provides a wealth of options for the next owner. Its R8B zoning allows this current office building to be converted to residential while adding an additional 4000 ft to the property. This building in its current configuration can be used as an art gallery, private equity office or professional space for cosmetic surgery or other medical or dental procedures. The beautiful hardwood floors, magnificent skylights, and windows on the North, South, and East of the building coupled with high ceilings and expansive walls create an air and light experience that does not exist in Midtown Manhattan. It is ideal for any gallery or art collector. The perfect Midtown location in walking distance to both Grand Central and Penn Station is surrounded by iconic office buildings such as Chrysler Building, Chanin Building, and the stunning One Vanderbilt https://www.onevanderbilt.com/. Shake Shack, Dig Inn, and Bareburger are grab and go options in the area while Zuma Restaurant, Wokuni, and Al Fiori round out options for the discerning palate. The luxury of the Langham Hotel, the convenience of The Grand Hyatt, and the specificity of the Kitano are all in a stones throw. The Metro-North, 4, 5, 6, 7, N, R, Q, NJ Transit, LIRR, and Shuttle trains are all nearby. 126 East 38th Street is a 6,862 square foot, 4-story, completely renovated elevator building waiting for the discerning owner to escort it into its next starring role in the NYC landscape.
