Property Description for 542 48th Street, 2

The Jewel Box - Top-Floor Flex 2-Bedroom Brownstone Apartment

Welcome to The Jewel Box, a distinctive top-floor, floor-through apartment in a beautiful brownstone home, filled with antiques, vintage details, and remarkable architectural character.
This spacious five-room residence is currently configured as a one-bedroom with a separate office/den and can flex as a two-bedroom. The additional room works well as a second sleeping area, office, den, dressing room, or creative space.

The apartment is partially furnished, and all existing furnishings and antiques must remain in the apartment. The bedroom and office/flex room are left open for you to personalize.
The freshly renovated kitchen features new stainless steel appliances, including a dishwasher. Throughout the apartment, original details and carefully collected furnishings create a warm, distinctive atmosphere that truly feels like a jewel box.

Residents are invited to enjoy the shared furnished and landscaped backyard, which is shared with the owner and accessed through the owner's garden-level unit.

Located on a charming street lined with Victorian and brownstone homes, the apartment is convenient to Sunset Park, recreation areas, 5th Avenue transportation, and approximately four short blocks from the R train on 4th Avenue.

Available for immediate move-in. Small dogs may be considered upon approval. No cats, sorry.
