345 East 52nd Street, 8-H

This exceptionally well laid out, perfectly proportioned, and exceedingly bright one-bedroom was thoughtfully chosen by its architect owner for its unique qualities. A mirror entry hall provides suspense as it opens into apartment's main living area. Windows facing North & South, with clear sight lines from end to end, lend a very airy loft-like feel to the space. A South facing living room with an additional wall of West-facing windows allows for cinematic midtown skyline views. Glorious sun floods the apartment all day, with the lights of the Chrysler building shining in all night.

The windowed kitchen offers the necessary trappings for a city cook all within an efficient footprint, complete with dishwasher. The peacefully quiet king-size bedroom in the rear has enchanting tree top and garden views. The bathroom has been tastefully renovated with marble tiling and an elegant black marble sink surround.

Closets are strategically placed throughout the apartment, offering an abundance of storage space. Other features include solid hardwood oak flooring, solid plaster walls, central radiator heat and through-wall ACs in each room. This apartment has the grace and charm of a pre-war home, rare to find in a post-war building.

Built in 1959, 345 East 52nd Street is a well-managed, amiable, full-service, pet-friendly, co-op building on a beautiful tree-lined block.
