Description

Murray Hill Studio with Unlimited Subletting after 2 Years

Your new home awaits at The Lexington, a mid-century landmark building, in the heart of Murray Hill.

5C is a generously proportioned studio apartment with beautiful sunlight streaming through its oversized east-facing windows. You’ll enjoy the flexibility of being able to arrange your furniture in a variety of ways to create designated living, dining, sleeping and WFH areas!

Be the first to cook in the just-renovated kitchen with plenty of cabinet space, a new dishwasher and over-the-stove microwave, quartz countertop and backsplash, and new ceramic tile flooring. The classically styled bathroom features a pedestal sink, black and white floor tiles, and subway tile on the walls.

288 Lexington Avenue is pet friendly building with a terrific live-in resident manager, part-time doorman (4pm - 12am), porter (8am - 4pm), central laundry, and a package/storage room.

The building has LOW maintenance, allows 80% financing, co-purchasing, pied-a-terres, gifting, parents buying for children, and subletting after 2 years of residency.

This is the perfect location for easy travel via Grand Central, just 5 blocks away. The East River ferries, Penn Station, Madison Square Park, Bryant Park and the Morgan Library Museum are all nearby. In the neighborhood you’ll find plenty of restaurants, coffee shops and great food shopping at Trader Joe’s and Fairway.
