Property Description for 300 East 54th Street, 34-A

Exquisite one-bedroom apartment at the full-service Connaught Tower. This beautifully-designed and completely renovated home - perched on the building's 34th floor - is brightened by east-facing windows offering lots of natural light and great open city views combined with vistas of the East River, Roosevelt Island, Long Island City and Queensboro Bridge. The elegant apartment is epitomized with crown and base molding, custom closets, beautiful recessed lighting and refined finishes throughout. The stunning Shaker style pass-through kitchen is styled with quartz counters and backsplash and Bosch appliances. The oversized bedroom is a peaceful retreat with oversized windows and generous closet space. The Kohler full bath is impeccably appointed a glass-enclosed shower.

Sought-after Connaught Tower in the Sutton Place section of Midtown East boasts excellent financials with a healthy reserve, and a wide array of amenities that include: a driveway for residents and guests, 24-hour doorman, live-in super, 3 elevators, fitness center with sauna, year-round indoor pool with rooftop lounge, common garden, central laundry room, parking garage (discounted for residents) with direct building access, bike room, and storage for a fee. Very low monthly maintenance fees compared to other co-ops in the area make living here that much more appealing.

Also minutes away are cafes, taverns, fine restaurants like Aquavit, Greenacre Park, and the E, M, 4, 5, 6, N, R and W subway lines. Pets are allowed.

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.
