120 East 36th Street, 11-F

This rarely available one bedroom is a special find with bright southern exposure, large terrace and a full-on, larger-than-life view of the nearby Empire State Building.

The home has been designed with a focus on efficient, effective and practical use of space, boasting 10 large built-ins of shelves and drawers (including space for a full pantry) and 10 additional smaller units for storage, as well as a separate coat closet and generous master bedroom closet. Even the bed has been built as a finely crafted contemporary structure with a large drawer for storing suitcases.

The entire apartment is updated, including the kitchen with steel-brushed finishes, counter under-lighting, built-in knife and spice rack cabinets, disposal, well-designed food-prep area, coffee maker shelf, and a modern stone-tiled bathroom.

To enjoy a meal on the open, airy, tranquil terrace with its recessed floor lighting is a perfect way to end the day, as you overlook historically designated townhomes below, the magnificent lights of the Empire State Building, and the sun setting in the distance. Under the terrace's retractable awning, you can even have drinks or eat outside in the rain.

Enjoy the beauty of this townhouse block, along with the conveniences of Murray Hill.
