This elegant one-bedroom, one-bath apartment is a rare find at the Ritz Tower. Located on the 20th floor of this historic building-once home to William Randolph Hearst-the apartment welcomes you with a bright, gracious foyer featuring charming crown molding. High ceilings and northern light fill the space, while an arched hallway leads to a separate dining area and a nearby kitchen.
The spacious 20 16-foot corner living room offers plenty of room for relaxing, entertaining, and dining, with large northern and eastern windows providing stunning city views. Two built-in wooden bookcases add a touch of sophistication and extra storage. The well-proportioned bedroom comes with its own closet and two large northern windows that frame beautiful cityscapes, and it sits conveniently next to the full bathroom. Additional highlights include original hardwood floors, extra closets, and the privacy of only three apartments per floor.
Since its resurrection in 1925, the Ritz Tower has maintained its prestige as one of Manhattan's most sought-after pre-war cooperatives. The 41-story building offers top-notch, hotel-like services: a 24-hour doorman and concierge, valet, daily maid service, a live-in superintendent, and even room service prepared by the building's private chef (available Monday through Friday). Residents also enjoy a renovated fitness center and a conference/party room. Located at 57th and Park Avenue, the Ritz Tower is perfectly situated next to Central Park, Madison Avenue, subway lines, and some of the best dining and shopping in New York City. Financing options, pet policies, and other purchase terms apply.
Quick Profile
Midtown West and Midtown East have a lot in common. They’re bustling, iconic, and full of people. But just like siblings, their personalities can be vastly different. Midtown East is a bit more sophisticated and doesn’t quite have the vivacity and unruliness that its westerly counterpart exudes.
Midtown East is bordered by 42nd to the south, 59th Street to the north, 5th Avenue to the west, and 3rd Avenue to the east.
The neighborhood is famous for its high-end stores, tourist attractions, posh hotels (budget ones too), and iconic architecture. Midtown East is also one of the largest financial and business hubs in Manhattan. During normal business hours the sidewalks are full of commuters and people moving from point A to point B. In the early evening, when the masses have left for the day, things suddenly get a little quieter and the sidewalks have a lot less foot traffic.
Although largely a commercial neighborhood, residential areas of Midtown East do exist on the eastern section of the neighborhood.
Grand Central Station is located in Midtown East and like Midtown West, it’s an extremely commutable neighborhood. The 4, 5, 6, 7 and S trains whisk people in and out of the neighborhood 24 hours a day. Grand Central Station also serves as a hub for New York State and Connecticut commuter rails. These trains can take you anywhere along the Hudson River or up into Connecticut. It’s perfect for day tripping.
