210 East 36th Street, 7-E

This lovely one-bedroom corner apartment delights with huge windows and expansive living spaces in prime Murray Hill, one of Manhattan's best-kept-secret neighborhoods. Gorgeous refinished parquet flooring, beamed ceilings and a wide north-facing window greet you the moment you enter this oversized 750-square-foot home. With a great room stretching more than 30 feet long, you'll have more than enough room for generous living and dining areas. The retro kitchen is cheery and delightful as is, or bring your contractor to craft your personal dream kitchen in its well-proportioned footprint. The bedroom offers another oversized window and two closets — there are three more throughout the home — while across the hall you'll find a spacious full bath with large tub/shower. This excellent post-war co-op building features part-time doorman service, live-in superintendent, central laundry, storage, bike room and garden. Pets and co-purchasing are permitted, pieds-à-terre are allowed on a case-by-case basis, and subletting is permitted, with board approval, for two years out of any four, after two years of residency. Set in Murray Hill, between Midtown East and Kips Bay, the immediate area is peppered with great shops, services, restaurants and nightlife venues. Grand Central Terminal is just 10 minutes away, providing easy access to 4/5/6, L, 7 and Metro-North trains, and 34th Street Ferry Landing provides superb access to Queens, Brooklyn and Downtown Manhattan.
