44 West 62nd Street, 7-D

A bright, east-facing home just steps from Central Park, this gut-renovated alcove studio possesses an ideal blend of charm and functionality. The living area is anchored by a beautiful bow-shaped window that floods the space with heaps of natural light while the adjoining alcove is separated by a shoji screen for privacy. Both the kitchen and the bathroom have recently undergone renovations and new hardwood floors have been installed throughout. Finishing the home are 4 conveniently placed closets, a newly constructed media center, built-in cabinetry and new windows.

Lincoln Plaza Tower is a full-service building with a full-time doorman, a live-in super, a gym, a garage (with reduced rates for shareholders), storage at nominal fee, a book club, and a private, semicircular driveway. Also, the building’s hallways have recently undergone a major renovation and are virtually brand new. The building is conveniently located just a block from Central Park, diagonally across from Lincoln Center, two blocks from the Time Warner Center and Whole Foods, and is within a short walk to some of the Manhattan’s best restaurants, all modes of public transportation, and one of the best IMAX movie theaters in town. Pied-a-terres and pets are welcome. Maintenance fees include gas, standard cable and Showtime.
