Property Description for 305 East 40th Street, 15-AM

A Rare Gem! Perched high on the 15th floor, this 3-bedroom, 3-bathroom, 1,800 square foot home is the epitome of elegance! Currently configured as an enormous 2-bedroom home with a separate den, the apartment seamlessly converts into a gracious 3- or 4-bedroom home with minimal modification (please see alternate floor plans provided).

Full of natural light and blissfully quiet, this truly special residence boasts a low maintenance, central heat/AC, open city views overlooking the United Nations and historic Tudor City, an elegant marble foyer, very generously proportioned rooms that give the home a sprawling look and feel, terrific closet space, a private laundry room, and a separate study/home office. The home's spacious chef's kitchen features granite countertops and top-of-the-line appliances from Viking and Miele. It opens onto the home's enchanting glass-enclosed dining solarium with automated shades that is perfect for hosting memorable dinner parties! Directly off of the solarium is a large private terrace, just right for al fresco dining in the warmer months.

The Hamilton is a full-service Midtown cooperative located in right in the beating heart of the city! The building's incredibly convenient location places it near Grand Central, the UN, and Manhattan's business epicenter. Building amenities include full-time doorman and concierge, live-in superintendent, landscaped roof deck, garage, storage room, and bike room. Pied-a-terre ownership, co-purchasing, guarantors, gifting, and subletting (with certain restrictions) are all permitted. No assessments and no flip tax. Pets are not permitted.

Tudor City | Manhattan

Quick Profile

Compared to other New York City neighborhoods Tudor City is a bit different. For starters, it's not very big. And technically it's not a neighborhood, it's more along the lines of a residential enclave of Tudor style buildings and parks. Even with the large neon sign boldly exclaiming the enclave's name, Tudor CIty is still a little tricky to find. 

Located on the southern edge of Turtle Bay, Tudor City borders Murray Hill and lies on a low cliff which is just east of Second Avenue between 40th and 43rd Street. It overlooks the grounds of the United Nations along First Avenue and the East River beyond.

Tudor City is considered one of the world’s first skyscraper apartment complexes. This was considered a remarkable feat in 1929. Early marketing material, aimed at the middle class, described the development as well-planned, well-built, and well-priced housing. Developer Fred F. Finch designed Tudor City to keep middle class residents in Manhattan as many were fleeing the city for the suburbs.
