Property Description for 137 East 28th Street, 7-D

Elegant Corner One-Bedroom in Historic Rose Hill Experience unparalleled craftsmanship and timeless sophistication in this gut-renovated, sun-filled corner one-bedroom, perched on a top floor of this beautifully restored pre-war elevator building with a new lobby in the heart of Kips Bay—at the crossroads of NoMad, Murray Hill, and Gramercy Park, just moments from Madison Park. This meticulously renovated residence combines pre-war charm with modern precision, featuring new electrical and plumbing systems, refinished hardwood floors, high ceilings with moldings, solid new doors, and six windows. The bedroom offers a view of the Empire State Building. The windowed kitchen is a showcase of design and function, appointed with German-engineered faucets, premium porcelain tile flooring, stainless steel appliances, hand-made stone countertops, and wenge-look cabinetry. The windowed bathroom is wrapped in pristine Carrara marble with a custom frameless glass shower enclosure, German-engineered fixtures, and electric bidet prewiring for refined comfort. Ample closets, each equipped with dedicated electrical outlets. The entry closet is thoughtfully pre-wired for a vacuum and cable box. Historic elements, including restored original cast-iron radiators with new precision valves, provide whisper-quiet efficiency while preserving the home’s architectural soul. A Zuber & Cie wallpaper panel on the bedroom door offers a touch of art. Residents enjoy access to a beautiful, furnished, and landscaped rooftop terrace—an intimate “suspended garden” with panoramic Midtown skyline views, where you can savor sunsets over the Empire State Building and the golden roofs of nearby landmarks. Building amenities include a laundry room with private storage (waitlist), a live-in Resident Manager, and a new video access system. Maintenance includes cable TV and Internet. This building is professionally well-maintained, boasts strong financials, and has an engaged management team. Conveniently located one block from the subway, near the East River Ferry, and close to Eataly, Trader Joe’s, and Whole Foods, this home offers both serenity and vibrant city living. This is not merely a renovation—it is a legacy of luxury, where heritage details and contemporary excellence converge in perfect harmony.

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.
