Property Description for 135 East 54th Street, 5-C
Quietly enjoy this remodeled custom built studio at the famous Lex 54 Condominium designed by one of the finest architects New York City has known; Rosario Candela. Built in 1951, rising 16 stories and converted to condominium in 1988, The Lex 54 Condo is situated perfectly in Midtown East on the corner of 54th Street and Lexington Avenue and offers a full-time doorman, live-in super, garage, bike room, laundry room and personal storage. Being centrally located so close to subway lines such as the N, Q, R, 4, 5, 6, E, M and Grand Central Station just a few minutes away, you can go anywhere you want to and get back home with ease. For the cyclist and Citi Bike enthusiast there are three Citi Bike Stations just a hop, skip and a jump away. Oh, and Central Park is about ten minutes away on foot. As you step inside, one of the first things to admire is the individually laid 16" by 2" piece oak floors designed in a beautiful herringbone style and the custom kitchen. If you enjoy cooking for yourself and/or for loved ones, then you will discover the many benefits to living in 5C. The kitchen has been enlarged and comes equipped with custom wood cabinetry throughout, under-the-cabinet lighting, an expanded countertop, a Viking Stove w/ convection oven, dishwasher, a custom range hood and Frigidaire refrigerator w/ water filter. There's so much room in the fridge to make sure you'll always have something delicious to cook up. Nestled on such a metropolitan street the apartment is surprisingly quiet. The windows come equipped with noise cancelling CityqQuite windows. One would suppose living on the corner of Lexington Avenue and 54th Street you would hear all that city noise. Not with this studio. Have the windows open to get the early morning air or keep them shut for an afternoon nap. You have the options to enjoy this apartment with complete relaxation. The custom bathroom is designed with beautifully laid white subway tile from top to bottom along with a pedestal sink, a mirrored vanity and custom lighting above. With an eastern exposure along with views down Lexington Avenue you definitely know you're in the heart of it all. Live comfortably and easily entertain. This home has low carrying charges which make it an affordable option. To view please email [email protected]

Midtown East | Manhattan
Quick Profile
Midtown West and Midtown East have a lot in common. They’re bustling, iconic, and full of people. But just like siblings, their personalities can be vastly different. Midtown East is a bit more sophisticated and doesn’t quite have the vivacity and unruliness that its westerly counterpart exudes.
Midtown East is bordered by 42nd to the south, 59th Street to the north, 5th Avenue to the west, and 3rd Avenue to the east.
The neighborhood is famous for its high-end stores, tourist attractions, posh hotels (budget ones too), and iconic architecture. Midtown East is also one of the largest financial and business hubs in Manhattan. During normal business hours the sidewalks are full of commuters and people moving from point A to point B. In the early evening, when the masses have left for the day, things suddenly get a little quieter and the sidewalks have a lot less foot traffic.
Although largely a commercial neighborhood, residential areas of Midtown East do exist on the eastern section of the neighborhood.
Grand Central Station is located in Midtown East and like Midtown West, it’s an extremely commutable neighborhood. The 4, 5, 6, 7 and S trains whisk people in and out of the neighborhood 24 hours a day. Grand Central Station also serves as a hub for New York State and Connecticut commuter rails. These trains can take you anywhere along the Hudson River or up into Connecticut. It’s perfect for day tripping.
