144 East 36th Street, 6-B

Bring your contractor to this bright, 2-bedroom, 1.5 bath apartment in historic Murray Hill. The distinctive elegance of original 1916 pre-war details like grand arches, 9.5' beamed ceilings, oversized windows, a decorative fireplace and solid oak floors are the bones needed to renovate this diamond in the rough. The apartment has graciously proportioned rooms, windowed kitchen and baths, built-in bookcases and multiple exposures that provide ample light and protected views of city landmarks like the Chrysler Building and Sniffen Court. The pet-friendly, intimate coop with a live-in super allows pied-a terre, and has basement storage, laundry and bike rooms. Washer/dryers and thru-the wall air conditioners are allowed with board approval. This apartment is priced to sell with reasonable maintenance and can be combined with Apartment 6A.
