Property Description for 140 East 28th Street, PH-A

Welcome to this rarely available prewar penthouse complete with solarium, wood-burning fireplace and landscaped terrace. This private garden oasis floats high above the hustle-and-bustle of Manhattan and boasts plenty of natural light all day long from its southern and eastern exposures. This grand one bedroom home is one of those special and uniquely Manhattan spaces perched atop a full-time doorman building created by two legends - architect Emory Roth and builders Bing and Bing. This apartment was designed with Roth's trademarks - a generosity of space and wonderful functionality. The over-sized corner bedroom easily fits a king-sized bed with room to spare and has three large closets and an en-suite windowed bathroom.. The recently updated windowed kitchen features stainless steel appliances including gas range, microwave-hood and dishwasher as well as tons of storage and workspace. The solarium enjoys views of lower Manhattan and the golden crown of the New York Life building. Past the solarium, the large terrace is abundant with specimen trees and plants that provides a green view from every room. An automatic watering system is in place to keep it all looking lush. A short distance away is the iconic Flatiron Building and Madison Square Park, which is home to Eataly and public art exhibits. The area is known for its restaurants including Danny Meyer's Blue Smoke, Justin Smiie's Upland, and the renowned Eleven Madison Park. This pet-friendly building has a beautiful roof deck, laundry room, storage space (wait list), bike room (wait list) and a live-in Super.CYOF

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.
