225 East 36th Street, 5-P

Tucked away in Murray Hill, one of Manhattan’s hidden-gem neighborhoods, this spacious alcove studio offers outstanding natural light, a great layout and fabulous building amenities. The generously proportioned, true alcove studio provides ample living/dining space with a peaceful, separate sleeping area tucked around a corner. Sunlight wanders throughout the home thanks to a wall of northwest-facing windows stretching the full width of the apartment. Home chefs will appreciate the roomy, modern kitchen that far exceeds that usually featured in studio homes. Here you'll find lovely granite countertops and custom maple cabinetry alongside full-size stainless steel appliances, including an Avanti oven and GE refrigerator and dishwasher. The handsome bathroom, awash in gorgeous tilework, includes a marble-topped vanity and modern fixtures. The gracious foyer offers room for a home office setup, while a large closet attends to storage needs and central air provides year-round comfort. A full-service luxury co-op with a distinctive and welcoming curved facade, the Murray Hill Crescent boasts a desirable amenities package that includes a 24-hour doorman and concierge, live-in super, bike room and storage, renovated lobby, large roof deck, central laundry and a parking garage. The elevator building allows pied-à-terres, co-purchasing, parents buying for working children and pets with board approval. Heat, water and gas are including in maintenance. Walk your tree-lined block and discover the surrounding neighborhood, rife with excellent dining, nightlife and shopping. Grand Central Terminal is just minutes away putting 4/5/6, 7 and S trains, plus the Metro-North Railroad, within easy reach. The 34th Street Ferry Landing is also two blocks away, providing excellent, traffic-free access to Queens and Brooklyn.
