This bright, south-facing residence is bathed in natural light from a full wall of windows. Storage is exceptional, offering three generous closets plus an oversized walk-in. If that's not enough a separate dressing area off the bathroom easily accommodates an additional dresser, giving you even more reasons to shop!
Larger and wider than the average studio, the main living area measures approximately 17' x 18' and comfortably fits a queen-sized bed, large sofa or sectional, dining area, and desk. The kitchen features a built-in breakfast bar-perfect for morning coffee for two. Freshly painted and professionally cleaned, the apartment is move-in ready, or you can bring your vision and update it to suit your style. Last but not least, an in-wall air-conditioning unit, no window unit needed!

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.
