This idyllic and gracious pre-war Studio is situated on a picturesque tree-lined street in a prime Kips Bay location at the full-service and beautifully maintained 140 East 28th Street Cooperative.
The Apartment
As you enter this versatile home, your eye will be drawn to a confluence of striking pre-war characteristics - graceful archway opening into the Living Room, four large windows welcoming warm light flowing from the southern exposure, generous ceiling heights and the centerpiece gorgeous wood burning fireplace. The Studio is large enough to seamlessly create a natural division of living area, sleeping area and dining area. The bright kitchen with a window boasts full-size appliances and a plethora of cabinet storage.
The width and length of this Studio provides a tranquil dedicated sleeping area distinct from the oversized living room. The bathroom has been tastefully updated and boasts a large Dressing Room with a deep and spacious closet. The overhead dimmed lighting in the living area sets the perfect ambiance. Three large walk-in closets and hardwood floors throughout complete this home.

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.
