Property Description for 245 East 24th Street, 9-HJ
This sensationally sunny and airy 2-bedroom, 2-bath home in a full-service Coop building offers both fabulous living AND working-from-home spaces. Thoughtfully designed by the architect-owner, the home boasts a spacious 2-person home office in addition to a dining alcove that can easily serve as a comfortable 3rd bedroom.
The modern and efficient open-plan kitchen/living/dining space offers easy living and a wonderful feeling of spaciousness and light. A wall of south-facing windows provides abundant life-enhancing sunshine. The open kitchen offers a large island for meal preparation and even dining, along with tons of storage.
You will enjoy the master bedroom suite, with its roomy walk-in closet and lovely renovated bath. It is smartly separated from the rest of the home by a beautifully-designed sliding door. A second comfortable bedroom and abundant closet space throughout the home completes the picture.
There are so many possibilities in this artfully-designed space. The "flex alcove" adjoining the living room is now set up as a children's twin desk space and home classroom. The 2-person home office can be reinvented to suit your individual needs.
The great outdoors is just an elevator ride away! A flower-filled shared roof deck is an outdoor oasis in which to relax, sunbathe, community-garden, or share laughs with neighbors and friends.
Built in 1961, Tracy Towers was designed by architect Lawrence Rothman. The 17-story, full-service building offers a welcoming lobby and an attentive staff of doormen, porters and a super who lives on the premises. There is a spacious onsite laundry room, and bike and individual storage spaces are available as well.
This well-run coop is very reasonable in their application process and building policies. Jog, stroll, dog-walk, or just relax at the nearby East River Esplanade or Madison Square Park where you can enjoy some fries from Shake Shack. Directly next door, the adorable Black Star Bakery is a relaxing stop for lunch or coffee and a pastry. Tracy Tower is convenient to midtown offices, hospitals and doctors, downtown entertainment and restaurants, and every imaginable service you could need. Pets are welcome.

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.
