Property Description for 201 East 28th Street, 16-AB

Perched on the 16th floor of Chesapeake House, this expansive four-bedroom, three-bath residence offers a rare combination of scale, light, and flexibility in the heart of Kips Bay — move in as is or reimagine it with the included alternate floor plan. A private foyer and gallery hall link oversized living and dining rooms to the bedroom wing. New oak floors underfoot, angled ceiling details overhead, and a striking run of windows on two exposures frame open, sun-filled skyline views to the north and west. The windowed galley kitchen features cherry wood cabinetry, granite counters, a gas cooktop, double wall oven, and stainless appliances, with a butler's pantry for extra prep and storage. A gallery-like office/library with built-in shelving adds a flexible bonus room providing a configuration rarely found in Manhattan. Four generously sized bedrooms include a corner primary suite with two exposures, a walk-in closet, and an en-suite bath; second bedroom with its own en-suite bath; and two additional bedrooms sharing a third full bath, each with ample closet space. Each of the three bathrooms offers a distinct finish — travertine, hexagon tile, and wood-look tile. Built in 1964, Chesapeake House is a full-service, pet-friendly co-op with 24-hour concierge, a common roof deck, and bike room, moments from Kips Bay's restaurants, transit, and NYU Langone. A rare opportunity to secure an oversized, flexible layout in one of the neighborhood's most established buildings. Alternate Floor Plan: For buyers looking to enhance flow and functionality, an alternate floor plan shows the unit's potential: an expanded foyer with added closets, a reconfigured, enlarged kitchen with a dedicated breakfast room, and an enlarged fourth bedroom with its own closet — all while preserving the home's abundant storage. Some images have been virtually staged Renderings/floor plans are conceptual and intended to illustrate potential layout options; any renovation would be subject to buyer's own design, contractor, and co-op board approval.

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.
