Refined Designer Residences to Illuminate Your Everyday.
A most luxurious Kips Bay residential experience awaits in this sun-bathed 1-bathroom studio at Nolen, an elegant new full-service condominium crafted by the visionary teams at ODA and Fischer + Makooi Architects.
This meticulously appointed home begins with a lovely entryway adorned with a large coat closet. Beyond a bespoke single-line kitchen and a huge walk-in closet is a luminous living and sleeping area. Sunbeams pour through oversized picture windows and dance across gorgeous white oak hardwood floors.
The kitchen is distinguished by custom, white-lacquered Alpi Wood cabinetry, stunning Basaltina quartz countertops and backsplashes, and a suite of integrated Miele appliances, including a gas cooktop, wall oven, warming drawer, dishwasher, and speed oven.
The bathroom includes a custom vanity, ceramic tile accents, porcelain floors, and a walk-in shower. An in-unit Miele washer and dryer completes the home.
Nolen's amenities begin with an inviting, canopied entrance and a stylish lobby with custom millwork and dedicated 24/7 staff. Beyond, a tranquil Zen garden beckons. Lush evergreen planters, elegant lounge seating, and a captivating centerpiece sculpture foster a sense of calm and exclusivity. A beautiful rooftop terrace is the second private outdoor space reserved solely for residents and their guests, offering panoramic city views, multiple seating areas, and a sleek outdoor entertaining kitchen with grilling stations, storage, and a sink. Additional highlights include a state-of-the-art fitness center with Matrix equipment, a private basketball court, a welcoming residents' lounge, a bicycle room, and private storage.
Situated on the East Side of Manhattan in the quiet Kips Bay neighborhood, Nolen is immediately recognizable for its architecturally distinctive facade composed of rich, dark brick, radiant copper detailing, warm earthen materials, and beguiling curves. The building is moments from St. Vartan Park, the United Nations, the Empire State Building, The Morgan Library & Museum, and Madison Square Park. Trader Joe's and Fairway Market are both within a few blocks, and some of the most exciting dining and nightlife scenes can be found in nearby Koreatown and NoMad.
Public transportation options include several local bus routes and the 6, B, D, F, M, N, Q, R, and W subway lines. Additionally, the NYC Ferry provides easy, scenic access to Long Island City, Greenpoint, Williamsburg, and DUMBO. Pets are welcome.
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.
