Description

Move right into your oversized 1-Bedroom with separate Office and a beautifully renovated chef’s kitchen! The new owner will enjoy a Samsung suite of stainless-steel appliances including double-oven, dishwasher, sleek quartz countertops, soft-close cabinetry and designer marble backsplash. A rarity in Manhattan, the bedroom is over 200 square feet with a walk-in closet, and 2 additional oversized closets.

The expansive living room affords enough room for a dining area with lovely Western light. The separate, private office/den is a flexible space that can both accommodate a business setup or guest space. A lovely, updated bathroom, parquet wood floors, custom lighting and an abundance of storage completes the package!

Plus, a washer/dryer is permitted with Board approval. Serenity abounds in this elegant home just off of Park Avenue and only blocks from Central Park. This is a move-in ready home in the heart of Manhattan - a TRULY UNIQUE FIND with proximity to the best shopping and dining in the city!

This wonderful home is ideally located in a white-glove Coop with a new limestone fa ade, and beautifully renovated lobby and hallways! Its central location is now more coveted than ever as homeowners appreciate the ease of access to all amenities - a dining and shopping destination, only a short walk to Central Park, and just blocks to all major subways, Bloomingdales and Whole Foods Market. Additional amenities include 24-hour doorman, superior staff, and an onsite garage at a reduced rate to shareholders.

Pied a Terres and Sublets are permitted upon approval and 80% financing is allowed, as well as Gifting and Co-Purchasing. This is an opportunity not to be missed! Please contact the SELLER’S AGENT for a private appointment at your convenience.
