45 TUDOR CITY Place #508

The dream of a quiet, urban oasis becomes a reality in the small, hidden neighborhood known as Tudor City. This lovely prewar studio apartment has casement windows facing west over the gorgeous Tudor City Greens. You'll enjoy warm light, tranquil tree-top views and even the occasional birdsong. The apartment is loaded with prewar detail: high, beamed ceilings, hardwood floors, gorgeous casement windows, built-in bookshelves, a pretty subway-tiled bath, and deep closets. There is a convenient, queen-sized Murphy bed that disappears into the wall behind elegant, custom-made French doors to maximize living space. The apartment features a through-the-wall air conditioner, camouflaged by a built-in window seat so that the view and light remain unobstructed. The most outstanding feature of the apartment is its beautifully renovated kitchen with Miele oven and stovetop, Fisher & Paykel dishwasher, Sub-Zero refrigerator and a butcher block-topped island/dining area that transforms this studio kitchen into a real chef's treasure. The monthly maintenance includes water and electricity. Built in 1927, in the neo-Gothic style, Prospect Towers is an iconic New York landmark, and one of the jewels of the Tudor City Historic District. The building features an absolutely beautiful lobby, with full-time concierge, laundry, storage as available, a bike room, live-in super, and a spectacular roof deck with sweeping views of the city and of the East River. The location is both unique and wonderful: the buildings are elevated above street level, and are buffeted by verdant landscaped residential parks that run the length of the neighborhood. Tudor City is just minutes from Grand Central, the East River ferry, numerous shops, markets and restaurants, bustling Midtown, the United Nations and more. The building allows pied--terre, co-purchasing, gifting and subletting (after two years' residency) on a case-by-case basis. Investors and dogs are not permitted. (Cats are welcome!) There is a monthly assessment of $65 until 2023.
