Property Description for 55 Park Ave, 8-E

Welcome home to 55 Park Avenue, Apartment 8EAST, a stunning pre-war co-op centrally located in prime Murray Hill!

This sunny 1 bedroom, 1-bathroom with home office is steeped in pre-war charm, offers incredible value for the discerning buyer, and features original details like solid oak herringbone floors, 9.5" beamed ceilings, and a wood-burning fireplace.

Upon entering the floor from the attended elevator, you're greeted by a semi-private landing shared with only one other apartment on the floor. Once in the apartment itself, you're welcomed by a foyer which then opens into a grand living room steeped in natural light facing east through oversized windows. The gracious 22" long living room is the perfect space to entertain or unwind after a long day in front of your wood-burning fireplace; just off the living room is a separate formal dining room, also facing east. The chef's kitchen features solid wood cabinetry, brand new stainless steel appliances and granite countertops. The primary bedroom, flooded with natural light from south and east exposures, comfortably fits a king-sized bed, and has a large walk-in closet for maximum storage. The large second bedroom easily fits a queen-sized bed, has a large closet, and enjoys a south exposure. The smartly updated windowed bath, accessible from both bedrooms, has a large stall shower, built in cabinetry, and radiant flooring.

Additional features of this wonderful home include custom built-out closets, a designated storage space in the basement, and a separate service entrance for easy garbage and recycling disposal.

Built in 1922 by the esteemed Fred F. French, 55 Park Avenue is a white-glove co-op with a full-time doorman, attended elevator, live-in super and central laundry room. With only two apartments per floor, and your mail hand-delivered to your door, this boutique building is a unique offering that instantly feels like home.

55 Park Avenue is conveniently located by multiple transportation hubs including Grand Central Station as well as some of the city's finest restaurants, shops, and museums. Pets are allowed with board approval on a case by case basis.

There is a 2% flip tax, paid by the purchaser.
