Property Description for 150 West 55th Street, 5-F

A rare opportunity to own this oversized 2-bedroom, 1.5-bath apartment in the heart of midtown, a few blocks from Central Park. Pre-war charm and character welcome you as you enter the building lobby and continue throughout the apartment. The door opens into a gallery foyer, with two spacious closets, that flows nicely into a spacious living room on one side and the kitchen on the other side. Both bedrooms are accessible from the living room. The master bedroom comfortably fits a king size bed, as well as lounge chair and other furniture, and its enormous walk-in closet even has a window. The second bedroom, also generous in size, can alternatively be positioned as an office or a dining room. The two bedrooms share a windowed bathroom. The windowed kitchen is large enough to accommodate designs and layouts of various types. All rooms have high, beamed ceilings, large windows, and solid oak floors. There is a windowed half bath, as well as a service entry off the kitchen. To complement the apartment's abundant closet space, there is a separate storage unit in the basement. This is a great opportunity to renovate to match demands of life today.

Designed and built in 1922 by Larsen Shein Ginsberg Snyder, 150 West 55th Street is known for its famous artistic residents. This intimate and full service pre-war co-op, with 9 stories and 46 units, has a 24-hour doorman and full-time superintendent. It has a beautiful lobby with the entrance to a common landscaped courtyard patio with gas fire pit. Other features of the building include a central laundry room, private storage bins, and bicycle storage. The co-op is pet friendly and allows pieds-a-terre, gifting, co-purchasing, and guarantors. Ideally located from everything New York City offers, homeowners can walk to Central Park, to enjoy strolling, jogging, relaxing, reading, or to admire the park's natural beauty, day or night. Building number 155 sits across the street from the City Center and just a few short blocks from cultural icons such as Carnegie Hall, MoMa and Broadway theaters. It is close to all public transportations, the Time Warner Center, Whole Foods, and some of the finest dining and shopping across the entire city.

Midtown West | Manhattan

Quick Profile

People, yellow cabs, bright lights, big crowds, 24-hour eateries and just about every type of store imaginable. it’s a frenetic buzz that only a few places on the globe can offer. And that’s just one part of it. Midtown West is the birthplace of hustle and bustle and it’s bordered by 42nd to the south, 59th Street to the north, 8th Avenue to the west, and 5th Avenue to the east. 

Midtown West is not as residential as other neighborhoods in Manhattan. The bustling part of Midtown West is 42nd Street between Times Square and 8th Avenues where the retail and office space, theatres, and attractions are. No matter what time of day it is, you'll always find activity there. 

Residential buildings lay near the western end of Midtown West beginning around 8th Avenue. 

Location, location, location. Of all the neighborhoods and enclaves of Manhattan, Midtown West is perhaps the most commutable place to live, visit, or work. It contains one of the highest concentrations of subway lines in the Big Apple. A, C, E, N, Q, R, 1, 2, 3, and the 7 train. The transit system feeds the streets with commuters from everywhere. The Port Authority Bus Terminal and nearby Penn Station adds to the number of people that flood Midtown on any given day. 

It’s one of the easiest places in all of Manhattan to navigate because it’s a true grid. Uptown, street numbers go up. Downtown, street numbers go down. It’s the same concept from east to west. You really can’t get lost in Midtown West.
