About This Home
RARE ALCOVE STUDIO WITH CORNER TERRACE
Coveted oversized alcove studio, one of only three apartments in the building with private outdoor space, enjoys sunny open exposures West and North across tree-lined 38th Street. The large square-shaped living room easily accommodates multiple living arrangements and is adjacent to a king-sized sleeping alcove. Both the kitchen and marble and subway tile bath are windowed. The kitchen is outfitted with a mirrored backsplash, stainless appliances and plentiful storage, including a pantry.
Closets have been reimagined with Elfa shelving and storage, including an expansive dressing room and home office with desk off the entrance gallery. The twenty foot corner terrace with charming brick facade is the perfect spot for al fresco dining. Additional niceties include high ceilings, white oak hardwood floors and blackout window treatments.
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 garden, athletic field, playground and basketball, handball and pickleball courts, AMC Kips Bay IMAX, Target, and many of the city's finest restaurants, boutiques and grocers, including Fairway Market and Trader Joe's. Guarantors, co-purchasing, pied-a-terre ownership and pets permitted.
