Property Description for 343 East 30th Street, 8-MN

Located in the iconic I.M Pei-designed Kips Bay Towers, this spacious 4 bedroom, 3 bath corner apartment features oversized floor to ceiling windows throughout, providing birds’ eye views of the private 3.5-acre garden below and letting in tons of natural light.

The unit is a strategic merger of two apartments: a 3 bedroom and a 1 bedroom, and living space is appropriately maximized. Large bedrooms are sited on opposite ends of the apartment affording privacy when desired.

Enter the property through a spacious reception area drawing you into the expansive living and entertaining space. The massive living room features over 30 linear feet of north facing windows and the adjacent large open plan kitchen features abundant counter space and a breakfast nook.

The generously proportioned bedrooms all offer ample closets and large windows, plus two of the bedrooms feature ensuite bathrooms.

Recently refreshed with new floors and newly painted walls, the apartment still offers the opportunity to make the home your own without having to pay for someone else tastes or renovations. This distinctive property is move-in ready yet priced to afford you the option to upgrade any part of the property you see fit to suit your personal tastes.

Kips Bay Towers is a full-service luxury condominium building offering a 24-hour doorman, on-site laundry, a fully equipped gym, and a newly renovated lobby. The private garden is adorned with over fifty trees, manicured lawns and firefly-filled flower beds that rival Gramercy Park. There is also a full size outdoor basketball court and children’s playground equipped with slides and swings.

The property encompasses over three full city blocks and is convenient to Fairway, Trader Joe’s and the AMC Kips Bay movie theater. Great restaurants and shops abound. Accessible transportation options include the 6 train, M15, M15-SBS, M34 buses, the recently upgraded NYC Ferry to Queens, Brooklyn and Wall Street as well as the SeaStreak port, and multiple Citibike stations dot the neighborhood.

Quick Profile

If you take a walk through Kips Bay, which is loosely defined as the area between 23rd street and 34th street and the East River to almost Lexington, you’ll quickly learn it's a hodgepodge of sorts and not as well defined as other neighborhoods in New York City. Some New Yorkers say Kips Bay has an identity crisis because 1st, 2nd, and 3rd avenues are distinctly different from one another as you traverse them. Despite the perceived lack of neighborhood vibe there are others that appreciate its affordability and convenience.  

First Avenue is dominated by hospitals and hospital buildings such as NYU Medical Center and Bellevue Hospital to name a few. Second Avenue is a mosaic of convenience stores, fast food joints and nondescript brick buildings. Third Avenue is saturated with small bars and gastropubs and the twenty somethings that patronize them. 

No judgement against Kips Bay here. It’s a great neighborhood that is just as much a part of New York City as any other neighborhood. Kips Bay It’s bordered by Murray Hill to the North, Stuyvesant Town and Gramercy Park to the South, and Rose Hill to the West. The neighborhood is partly defined by newer high-rise apartments, brick rowhouses, and former tenement buildings.
