About This Home

As of April 2021

There's nothing better than living in the heart of Manhattan, in a spacious 2 bedroom 1.5 bath apartment (being offered furnished or unfurnished), within minutes of the city's best attractions and conveniences. Central Park, Rockefeller Center, Radio City Music Hall, Carnegie Hall, Times Square, the Broadway Theater District and Columbus Circle are all just minutes away. This wonderful corner home has a lot more going for it as well, like northern and eastern exposures, lovely hardwood floors, generously-sized rooms, a windowed full bath and plenty of large closets. The windowed galley kitchen with granite counters and stainless steel appliances, that includes a dishwasher, offers plenty of storage and prep space for all your culinary creations. Topping it off are utilities (electric, gas, heat and water) that are included in common charges and the comfort of having a large, full-time, onsite staff (doorman, concierge, building manager, live-in super, handyman and porter) to tend to your every need. Investor friendly and Pet friendly.

Tower 53 also offers residents a common roof deck, laundry room and parking garage. The B, D, E, C, N, Q, R, 1 and F are all right nearby, as are fine restaurants like Le Bernardin, Yakitori Totto, Victor's Cafe and Trattoria Dell'Arte, chic shopping along Fifth Avenue, the Museum of Modern Art and lots of great markets to choose from: Whole Foods, Westerly Natural Market, Stiles Farmers Market, Morton Williams and Ernest Klein & Company, to name a few. There is an ongoing fuel assessment of $85.20

This apartment also available for rent.
