Property Summary
Description
This Quintessential Completely Renovated Classic Condo is located right off 5th Avenue and only blocks from Central Park at 40 West 55th Street. Unit 8B is a move-in ready 2 to 3 bedroom, 2 bathroom pre-war home. With north and south exposures, high ceilings, hand plastered moldings, and architectural lighting, you too can enjoy an understated elegant lifestyle in the midst of one of the most loved neighborhoods in Manhattan. As you enter the spacious foyer you are greeted by a meticulously designed and decorated formal dining room which can be transformed into an extra bedroom or home office. Unit 8B?s flexible floorplan has a living room spanning over 22 feet and includes a newly renovated wood-burning, working fireplace. The sensibly-sized windowed chef?s kitchen includes newly purchased Bosch appliances, a Sub-Zero fridge, and a coveted in-sink disposal system. All plumbing is brand new. Both marble and stone windowed bathrooms (one en-suite) were renovated in 2020 and a Bosch washer and dryer were added as well. Both pin-drop-quiet roomy bedrooms offer smartly finished closets, oak hardwood flooring, 3 zones of baseboard heat, air conditioning, and a newly installed ADT camera security system. Please note, the custom-designed furniture at 40 W 55th Street, Unit 8B can be purchased separately at a modest price. There is one 8x4 storage unit that transfers with the sale of this home and a second one for purchase. Live where Ralph Lauren got his start, at this Rosario Candela-designed boutique condo building steps from the best restaurants in Manhattan, Rockefeller Center, Radio City Music Hall, The Museum of Modern Art, Carnegie Hall, and Columbus Circle. With only 4 apartments on each floor and only 36 apartments in total, 40 W 55th Street includes low monthly fees, a 24- hour attended lobby, package delivery and service, bike storage, and in-building laundry facilities. 40 West 55th Street is a pet-friendly building that allows Pieds-à-Terre, co-purchasing, corporate purchasers, gifting, investors, and foreign purchasers.
