The market is on your side and you are ready to own your piece of The Apple - a primary residence or a pied a terre - in a prime, pre-war building, and one of the Midtown East's most convenient locations. Here is a wonderful opportunity to purchase a feel-good, spacious alcove studio residence with a flexible, easy-to-live layout that is easily convertible into a 1-bedroom apartment. Enter through the foyer and walk into the large living space that opens towards a comfortably sized sleeping alcove at one, and a windowed, separate dining area on the other end of the apartment. The sleeping alcove boasts a practical, built-in murphy bed and a closet. The dining area adjoins a large, walk though kitchen with ample cabinet space (dishwasher installation is allowed), which serves this happy home beautifully and makes for easy entertaining. This charming apartment is sweetly situated in a well-run building, with a 24-hr doorman, attended elevator, live-in super, laundry room, and a bike and storage room. Located in immediate proximity to the cornucopia of fine shopping, dining options, and cultural institutions that the heart of Midtown offers, the rest of New York is at your fingertips through many convenient transportation choices (express trains!). Flexible board allows guarantors, co- purchasing, buying for another, and pied-a-terres.
