Property Description for 201 East 28th Street, 12-N

Great Value, Great Space, Great Location!

Come see this large Junior one-bedroom, almost as big as any regular one-bedroom around town, measured by FloorPlanSource, Inc. at approximately 680SF, is such a great price for this much open space!

The Living area is spacious, allowing for a large sofa and including a sweet corner space for your own version of a home office, with its very own magnificent view of The Empire State Building. With its high-floor cityscape and open sky view, this western exposure has wonderful warm and cozy afternoon light.

A big dining table seating six fills the dining area, but not so much that you can't fit your own Pelaton or treadmill. One of the three big closets is here, as well. And, behind that, in the entrance hall, opposite the galley kitchen, is a huge walk-in closet - equal to closets in apartments selling for millions more.

The light and bright bedroom is big enough for a Queen size bed, a dresser, and a bedside table and chair. Here, too, is another large closet. The entrance to the bathroom is to the left.

The location is terrific! There's Starbuck's right across the street and a fairly new Target around the corner on Second Avenue. A few blocks North of that is the Kips Bay movie theatre. There's a Fairway and a Trader Joe's in the area and the 4 and 6 train stop at the 28th and Park subway station just two blocks away. Langone Medical Center is also close on First Avenue.

The Chesapeake House was built in 1966. It has a full-time doorman, a live-in super, a central laundry, parking in the building but is not owned by the building, a resident roof-deck, and is pet friendly. The liberal board allows co-purchasing, parents buying for adult, working children, and gifting. Subletting is not permitted. 2% Flip tax paid by seller. No current assessments. Masks required for elevator and apartment.

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.
