SHOWINGS BEGIN SUNDAY, MAY 31 BY APPOINTMENT. REACH OUT NOW TO SCHEDULE YOUR VISIT.
Renovated with an eye to maximize space, this converted JR-1 is extremely spacious and well-laid out. The large living room is filled with light from two banks of windows having off-street north and west exposures.
The windowed kitchen features sleek granite counters, tile backsplash, stainless appliances (yes, there is a dishwasher), and wooden cabinets with soft-close drawers. Opened to the living room, the large breakfast bar makes for easy entertaining and has seating for at least four people. The thoughtful renovation created tons of additional storage with the addition of a front entry built-in and a large pantry next to the refrigerator.
The bedroom can fit a king bed and has quiet exposures north and west. Just outside in the hall you'll find the renovated bath with vanity and three-door medicine cabinet. Three closets and thru-wall AC complete this fabulous opportunity.
Available initially for a 1 or 2 year lease (2 year preferred). This is a no smoking apartment.
Amenities include 24/7 doorman, live-in super, full staff, bike room, common storage, and laundry room. In addition to offering many great restaurants and lively nightlife, Trader’s Joe’s, Fairway Market, AMC Kips Bay movie theater, and St. Vartan Park are all nearby. The easy commute to NYU's Langone Campus, Bellevue Hospital, and the United Nations is also hard to beat.
