Property Description for 28 West 38th Street, 5-B

This classic open loft has 2 baths & is easily convertible into a luxury 2 or 3 bed apt.*. Dramatic, stylish & flexible, this floor through space is 23 ft. wide, 86 ft. deep, w/ 11ft. soaring ceilings, this live-work friendly loft (board approval required) has been an art studio as well as a wonderful home. It is perfect for entertaining large parties or intimate dinners - with clean, elegant modern lines emphasizing the openness of modern loft living. Beautiful wide plank oak floors throughout. The thoughtfully designed, open chef's kitchen is stylishly finished with sleek black galaxy granite counters and a massive breakfast bar. High gloss grey cabinets outfitted with stainless steel appliances - including touches such as a Bosch 5 burner stove and wine fridge. Next to the kitchen is a top of the line full-size washer and dryer. There are two bathrooms - one is custom designed in spa-like monochrome black and white with Kohler and Grohe fixtures including a deep soaking tub and rain shower, all competed by a grey slate radiant-heated floor and independent towel warmer. Ten huge windows surround the space providing three exposures of light. With this incredibly flexible space, you can enjoy it just as it is or let your (and your architect's) imagination run wild if you wish to reconfigure the space to create your dream home. There are so many options (with board approval of course). This is a small, friendly, relaxed co-op with easy board approval and a flexible sublet policy. The building is pied-a-terre and pet friendly, complete with a new video security system and new key-locked elevator. The building's roof is being replaced this spring and the facade is being cleaned and restored. It will look spectacular. The building also benefits from a highly regarded super who accepts packages on behalf of residents during the day. Ideally located in a boutique 1910 loft building, steps from Fifth Avenue and beautiful Bryant Park with its year-round events and Equinox and the soon-to-arrive Wholefoods. Located right in the best part of the old Garment District, you can live the high life at the nearby restaurants and rooftop bars. And the famous Keen's Steakhouse is just around the corner. *As usual all alterations need Board Approval.

Midtown West | Manhattan

Quick Profile

People, yellow cabs, bright lights, big crowds, 24-hour eateries and just about every type of store imaginable. it’s a frenetic buzz that only a few places on the globe can offer. And that’s just one part of it. Midtown West is the birthplace of hustle and bustle and it’s bordered by 42nd to the south, 59th Street to the north, 8th Avenue to the west, and 5th Avenue to the east. 

Midtown West is not as residential as other neighborhoods in Manhattan. The bustling part of Midtown West is 42nd Street between Times Square and 8th Avenues where the retail and office space, theatres, and attractions are. No matter what time of day it is, you'll always find activity there. 

Residential buildings lay near the western end of Midtown West beginning around 8th Avenue. 

Location, location, location. Of all the neighborhoods and enclaves of Manhattan, Midtown West is perhaps the most commutable place to live, visit, or work. It contains one of the highest concentrations of subway lines in the Big Apple. A, C, E, N, Q, R, 1, 2, 3, and the 7 train. The transit system feeds the streets with commuters from everywhere. The Port Authority Bus Terminal and nearby Penn Station adds to the number of people that flood Midtown on any given day. 

It’s one of the easiest places in all of Manhattan to navigate because it’s a true grid. Uptown, street numbers go up. Downtown, street numbers go down. It’s the same concept from east to west. You really can’t get lost in Midtown West.
