Property Description for 250 East 30th Street, 5-A

250 East 30th Street, Unit 5A The Sycamore
2 Bedrooms 2 Full Bathrooms Condominium
Year Built: 2001
Privately situated end unit, with no directly adjoining residence.

Experience the perfect balance of comfort, privacy, and convenience in this beautifully maintained two-bedroom, two-bath residence at The Sycamore, one of Kips Bay's most desirable full-service condominiums.

Bathed in natural light from three oversized windows, this inviting home offers an airy, open atmosphere with peaceful neighborhood views and exceptional privacy. The unit is carefully positioned so you enjoy open outlooks rather than facing neighboring apartments directly. Located on the desirable fifth floor, the residence also offers the added practicality of convenient stair access when preferred.

The thoughtfully designed split-bedroom layout is ideal for both everyday living and hosting guests. Rich vinyl wood floors flow throughout the home, while the well-appointed kitchen features warm wood cabinetry, granite countertops, a full-size refrigerator, microwave, and a newer dishwasher. Both spacious bedrooms provide generous closet space and a quiet retreat from city life. Two beautifully tiled full bathrooms offer Kohler-brand deep soaking tubs and ample vanity storage. Three newer individually PTAC (Packaged Terminal Air Conditioner) units provide efficient, zoned comfort throughout every season.

Residents of The Sycamore enjoy an exceptional collection of amenities, including a 24-hour doorman, live-in resident manager, landscaped rooftop terrace with sweeping Manhattan skyline views, resident lounge, fully equipped fitness center, and laundry facilities conveniently located on every floor.

Ideally situated between Second and Third Avenues, this prime Kips Bay location places you just moments from the 6 subway line, providing direct access to Grand Central Terminal and the rest of Manhattan. It is also conveniently accessible to Penn Station, located within a short distance. Everyday conveniences are right outside your door, including Fairway Market, Trader Joe's, AMC Theatre, Target, neighborhood cafs, lively bars, and an outstanding selection of authentic restaurants along Third Avenue.

Whether you're searching for a sophisticated primary residence, an elegant Manhattan pied--terre, or an outstanding investment opportunity, Unit 5A delivers the ideal combination of location, lifestyle, privacy, and value in one of Manhattan's most convenient neighborhoods.

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.
