Located in the iconic Kips Bay Towers, this rare offering presents an exceptional opportunity for the discerning buyer—whether you're seeking a full-time residence, an investment property or the perfect pied-à-terre. Natural light abounds through wall-to-wall south-facing picture windows which overlook a charming cityscape of low- and mid- rise buildings. You’ll enjoy plenty of sky outside and a thoughtfully designed interior space. A dedicated dressing area, complete with ample closets, feels more like an oversized walk-in, making storage both efficient and elegant.

Impeccably managed by a resident manager and 24-hour support staff, it offers a suite of amenities including fitness center, community room, bike room, storage, laundry facilities and parking garage. There is a stunning, well-manicured central courtyard between the towers, in addition to a playground, landscaped gardens, basketball court and sports field. The surrounding neighborhood is rich with life and culture, including the Kips Bay AMC Theater, world-class dining, cozy cafes and convenient access to the the East River Esplanade and its running path. Transportation is effortless, with the 6 train nearby at 28th and 33rd Streets.
