Property Description for 88 Lexington Ave, 702

Magnificent, mint-condition three bedroom, two-and-a-half bathroom home in one of New York City's most in-demand new development projects, 88 & 90 Lex.

Enter through a welcoming foyer entry gallery that leads you past your large open kitchen that has been expertly equipped with a grand counter as a focal point, into an enormous corner living and dining room with high ceilings, wide-plank floors and four oversized windows that flood this room with light.

The contemporary chef's kitchen features custom cabinetry made from European oak, a marble slab countertop, an antique grey marble backsplash, Dornbracht fixtures, a Bertazzoni oven and cooktop, and a Sub-Zero refrigerator/freezer. The kitchen's grand island with seating is perfect for informal dining or intimate conversation. The laundry / storage room is conveniently located just off the kitchen. Just past the kitchen toward the bedroom wing, an adjoining media room / bedroom creates a cozy enclave.

The spacious master bedroom suite features an abundance of closets, an oversized window with wonderful western light and a five-fixture master bathroom. Master bathroom details include French limestone flooring and wall tiles, travertine slab backsplash, radiant heated floors by NuHeat, and a Wetstyle Cube Collection deep soaking tub. Additional bathroom details include an LED-illuminated medicine cabinet with mirror defogger and Phillippe Starck designed Hansgrohe fixtures.

This home features several special decorative and lifestyle touches: fumed grey oak wide-plank flooring and custom artisan wallpaper installations throughout, one-of-a-kind chandeliers, custom built-in bedroom shelving and fully-outfitted closets. Motorized remote controlled designer shades on every window, built-in high fidelity sound, recessed overhead lighting and temperature are all controlled via an extraordinary Savant luxury home automation system. Just imagine... the house warms before you rise, your favorite song fades in, and the shades go up to let in the morning light.

88 & 90 Lexington combines prewar splendor with modern vision to offer the very best of both worlds. Built in 1927, the building was reimagined by noted Architects Workshop/APD and developed into condominiums in 2015. The condominium offers an unparalleled collection of lifestyle amenities, twenty-four hour full-service concierge, private resident's lounge with full kitchen, screening room, children's playroom, fitness center/spa with locker rooms, sauna, steam room, and lap pool with hot tub.

Located at the nexus of Gramercy, Flatiron, and NoMad, 88 & 90 Lex is two blocks from Madison Square Park, next to the landmarked Beaux-arts Lexington Avenue Armory, and surrounded by some of the most acclaimed dining in New York.

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.
