136 East 36th Street, 11-F

Move right into this classic one-bedroom, one-bath residence in one of Murray Hill’s most charming prewar co-ops. Perched on a high floor with south and east exposures, this home is bathed in natural light. Freshly painted and featuring newly refinished original hardwood floors, original brass and glass doorknobs and 9-foot ceilings, the apartment blends timeless character with thoughtful updates. Originally designed and built by George F. Pelham in 1924, the layout is smart and efficient with an expansive living room at its center and exudes the architect’s elegant classicism of balanced proportions, sensible flow and emphasis on light and ventilation. The renovated windowed kitchen is thoughtfully designed with custom maple cabinetry by Brookhaven, including glass-fronted cabinets, excellent drawer and storage space, and longer cabinets for utility needs. A built-in breakfast bar offers the perfect spot for casual dining overlooking rooftop water towers and sky. Appliances include a Fisher & Paykel refrigerator, GE Profile stove and microwave convection oven, and a Frigidaire dishwasher. Benefitting from dual exposure, the corner bedroom is generously proportioned and filled with light, offering a peaceful retreat. The windowed bathroom features open shelving beneath the sink for towels and a mirrored floor-to-ceiling storage cabinet for additional convenience. This full-service, pet-friendly 12-story cooperative offers a 24-hour doorman, resident manager, renovated laundry room, storage (waitlist), and a beautifully landscaped roof garden with iconic skyline and Empire State Building views. Reasonable co-op policies allow pied-à-terre ownership, co-purchasing, gifting, guarantors, and subletting. In-unit washer/dryers are not permitted. Ideally located near Grand Central, the Midtown Tunnel, and the 34th Street ferry, there’s easy access to multiple subway and bus lines. There’s also close proximity to Trader Joe’s, Whole Foods, Equinox, Crunch, The Morgan Library, and the East River Esplanade. Endless dining options complete the picture.
