Spaciously laid out at 1,224 square feet, this home has an inviting entrance foyer, a large sun-filled living room with windows on 3 walls, and enjoys plenty of storage with six deep closets. W/D in unit is permitted.
The bright, south-facing, windowed kitchen is equipped with Viking appliances, two long rows of cabinetry, and granite countertops.
Both the corner ensuite primary bedroom and the secondary bedroom are tucked away from the living and dining entertaining quarter, making them a quiet sanctuary. The south facing windows from both bedrooms offer the magnificent Chrysler building view while filling the bedrooms with warm direct sunlight all day long.
The building has 24-hour concierge, a live-in super, and additional storage available within the building. It is well-managed, with no common charge increases in the past nine years (how rare is that in the age of inflation!!) and no expected assessments, reflecting sound financial management.
The apartment's strategic location places you right across the street from the E, M and 6 subway station, and a 5-min walk to the 4,5,6 and N,R,W subway lines and world-class shopping. Within 10 minutes' walk there are Central Park, major midtown offices, hospitals, the bustling restaurant scene on 53 St between Third Ave and Second Ave home to the world-famous Tomi Jazz, as well as the serene, lush East River Esplanade for biking, running and walking.
The central location with close proximity to offices, transportation and lifestyle, in an area saturated with co-ops (tough rental rules), makes this competitively priced 2-bed 2-bath condo in a well-managed building a savvy investment!
Come see it for yourself!
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.
