Property Description for 165 East 32nd Street, 6-B

In a market where low housing inventory may have sent you down a path of seemingly endless compromises, here, at last, is a home that provides you with something even more elusive than space: options. Welcome to your spacious new home at The Byron in Murray Hill: a real 2-bedroom home with 2 full bathrooms and 2 exposures. This home greets you with an entrance foyer and a large front closet before opening up to the entertaining space. The updated kitchen has been opened to the living room. Its large range and abundant granite counter space are well-suited for those who like to cook, and the breakfast bar provides the perfect perch for those who prefer to watch. The living room is bright and well-proportioned, comfortably accommodating a crowd. A separate dining area at the center of the home is ideal for more intimate dinner parties.

The two large bedrooms are similarly-proportioned. Both offer en-suite bathrooms and generous closet space, making either suitable as your master. If you enjoy rising to the morning sun, then you will love the east-facing front bedroom. Positioned next to the living room and overlooking Third Avenue, this room gets brilliant morning light. It has 2 closets, creating a dressing area as you enter. If morning is not your thing, then you may prefer the west-facing bedroom. This room is separated from the apartment's entertaining space and faces the back of the building. It is extremely quiet and glows in the soft evening light. The large closet here is deep, offering abundant storage. The second bathroom is located just outside the door to this bedroom, allowing for access without the need to enter the bedroom; this makes it extremely versitile as a guest bathroom even if someone is sleeping in the back bedroom. Another door allows you to close off the entire suite for complete privacy. Both bathrooms have been updated and are in excellent condition.

The Byron is a full-service co-op with 24-hour staff, resident super, central laundry room, storage, bike storage and landscaped roof deck. The co-op permits 75% financing and co-purchases within certain parameters. Pets are permitted subject to certain guidelines. The location at 32nd Street and Third Avenue puts you within one block of the 6 train and in close proximity to dozens of restaurants, grocery markets, shopping and the various neighborhood amenities that make living in New York City so convenient. Here at The Byron you have no compromises, only options.

Kips Bay | Manhattan

Quick Profile

If you take a walk through Kips Bay, which is loosely defined as the area between 23rd street and 34th street and the East River to almost Lexington, you’ll quickly learn it's a hodgepodge of sorts and not as well defined as other neighborhoods in New York City. Some New Yorkers say Kips Bay has an identity crisis because 1st, 2nd, and 3rd avenues are distinctly different from one another as you traverse them. Despite the perceived lack of neighborhood vibe there are others that appreciate its affordability and convenience.  

First Avenue is dominated by hospitals and hospital buildings such as NYU Medical Center and Bellevue Hospital to name a few. Second Avenue is a mosaic of convenience stores, fast food joints and nondescript brick buildings. Third Avenue is saturated with small bars and gastropubs and the twenty somethings that patronize them. 

No judgement against Kips Bay here. It’s a great neighborhood that is just as much a part of New York City as any other neighborhood. Kips Bay It’s bordered by Murray Hill to the North, Stuyvesant Town and Gramercy Park to the South, and Rose Hill to the West. The neighborhood is partly defined by newer high-rise apartments, brick rowhouses, and former tenement buildings.
