Property Description for 529 Second Ave

IN CONTRACT. Perfect for a professional end-user looking for the ideal live/work scenario, an investor looking for an immediate return, a developer looking for a value-add opportunity, or anyone looking to do a single family conversion that wont break the bank, this four story three-family townhouse with a commercial storefront has been occupied and lovingly maintained by the same family for more than 80 years.

Built in 1910, the property has unobstructed views and light from the east and west and is located in the heart of Kips Bay on the corner of 29th and 2nd Avenue–just across the street from Fairway and within a block or two of NYU Langone, Trader Joe's, AMC Movie Theater, Target and countless restaurants, cafes and retailers. Approximately 3500 sqft (not including the basement level, which has 8 ft ceilings, windows in the rear, and is currently used for the purpose of storage) the property's current configuration features three turn-key 1Bdrm/1Bth residential floor-thru apartments as well as a raw storefront commercial space with a half bath in place and limitless possibilities for professional, retail or restaurant use. Additionally, the property is located on a double lot, so there is approximately 900 sqft of private outdoor space accessible from the ground level that awaits your vision.

Where in Manhattan can you get a 3500sqft 3bdrm/3.5bth co-op or condo with nearly 900sqft of private outdoor space at this price point? You simply can't. And if such a property did exist, can you imagine what the monthly maintenance or combined Common Charges/RE Tax would be for a condo or co-op of comparable size?

529 Second Avenue is an unbeatable value for the right buyer. Call today to arrange a viewing before this unique opportunity is gone.

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.
