MINT MIDTOWN ALCOVE STUDIO

Newly renovated alcove studio enjoys an oversized 21 foot expanse and sunny corner exposures, with serene rear garden views to the South and open views North and West across tree-lined 38th Street. The living room has a square layout that easily accommodates multiple living arrangements. The windowed kitchen is outfitted with lacquered cabinetry and stainless appliances including a dishwasher. The subway tile bathroom with adjacent dressing room is also windowed. Additional niceties include high ceilings, designer lighting and wonderful storage from a pantry, two double wide closets and a tv nook that can be repurposed as a third closet.

Perfectly located in the heart of Midtown, in the historic Murray Hill district, this intimate mid-century modern cooperative of 40 apartments has dual entry video intercom security, a live-in superintendent who accepts packages, central laundry, bicycle and private cage storage (fee). In addition to recently completing a comprehensive exterior capital improvements project including roof replacement, pointing and siding, the building has a new elevator and is now wired for FiOS.

Residents covet their proximity to Grand Central Station and the Midtown Tunnel, the East River Walk and St. Vartan Park's playground, tennis, handball and basketball courts, as well as Loews Kips Bay IMAX, and many of the city's finest restaurants, boutiques and grocers, including Fairway Market and Trader Joe's.

This unfurnished studio apartment is available immediately for a one year lease term and is also being offered for sale, asking $409,000. Pied a terre permitted. Pets considered case by case.
