Description

Welcome to Apartment 2E at The Galaxy, a highly desirable Beaux-Arts co-op located directly across from the Museum of Natural History and just moments from Central Park. Nestled in the vibrant heart of the Upper West Side, this spacious studio is a rare gem, providing ample living space to suit all your needs.

This generously sized space with stunning 11-foot ceilings features oversized windows, creating a warm and inviting atmosphere. The cleverly designed Murphy bed and loft bed offer both comfort and versatility, allowing you to easily convert the space for lounging or sleeping.

The windowed, eat-in kitchen with plenty of storage space is a great space for anyone to cook and enjoy a meal with friends.

The Galaxy is a well-established, full-service co-op on a tree-lined, picturesque block. Its fabulous Upper West Side location is by so many of the restaurants, boutiques, coffee shops, and major transportation that have made this neighborhood so special and desirable. Pets are permitted, as are co-purchases and pieds- -terre on a case-by-case basis.

Building services and amenities include a 24-hour doorman, live-in super, and roof deck.

There is a 12 dollar share flip tax.
