AMAZING 300-SQUARE FOOT PRIVATE TERRACE IN THE HEART OF MIDTOWN MANHATTAN. Relax and entertain in the sun. Grow your own herbs, vegetables, and berries. Dine al fresco in this 12th floor garden oasis while watching the hummingbirds (yes, hummingbirds!). Originally a one-bedroom apartment, this penthouse-style residence is redesigned with two bedrooms – the main bedroom large enough to fit a queen or king-size bed – the second bedroom serving as an office/den and guest bedroom. Apartment 12B faces south and west with city views and sunshine in every room as well as on the 10'5 X 27'7 terrace. The living room and second bedroom have twenty feet of wall-to-wall windows enjoying beautiful vistas of the outdoor space. The open kitchen features a breakfast bar, a stainless steel 4-burner gas stove, a dishwasher, ample cabinet space, and expansive granite countertops. Attractive new light wood floors have been installed throughout. There is great closet space including a large walk-in closet. 240 East 55th Street is conveniently located between residential Sutton Place and the Midtown business district, a five-minute jog to Central Park and the East River Promenade. It has a part-time doorman, a full-time porter/handyman, and a live-in superintendent. There is a laundry room as well as a free storage room in the basement. No flip tax.
