Move right into this super cheerful, newly renovated, light-filled condominium two bedroom home. With fresh and fun details from top to bottom, bright, open city views, and an airy, open layout- this is the one you've been looking for.

You'll step into your entry foyer and know you're someplace special. To the left- an expertly crafted, newly installed kitchen featuring rarely seen enameled industrial metal cabinets, new stainless steel appliances, quartz counters, a vented stove, and clever storage for all of your cooking needs. A full size-vented- washer dryer is housed in its own laundry room.

The well-proportioned great room is loft-like and welcoming with high beamed ceilings, a dining banquette, exposed Chicago hand fired brick wall, and a large panoramic window with open city views to the north filled with iconic architecture and greenery. Custom built millwork conceals hidden storage everywhere as well as an enormous walk-in coat closet and pantry.

The bedroom hall provides a powder room for guests- which may easily be converted into a second full bath, a sizable guest bedroom, currently outfitted with bunk beds and a desk, and a large custom closet.

At the end of the hall is the magnificent master suite featuring an ingenious built-in home office, newly renovated bathroom with oversized step-in shower, mosaic tile, and linen closet, the dressing room/walk-in-closet of your dreams with custom shelving and storage, and a bright yet serene bedroom with city views. Together this space is the spacious and peaceful refuge you're looking for in a master bedroom that is so hard to find.

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.
