Description

The New York apartment you only see in the movies! This unique home is the entire third floor of an elegant Brownstone building conveniently located on a tree lined street in prime Murray Hill. There are three exposures, South, North and West providing great light. Enter the building and the apartment completely keyless with video recorded memory of all entries. As you enter the apartment, off your private landing, you enter into a foyer loaded with closets and a bench for comfort with your shoes. To the right, you enter your spacious living/dining room with a North exposure and featuring exposed brick, hardwood floors and gorgeous working fireplace. As you continue, you will find a large, renovated kitchen with tons of custom cabinetry, granite countertops, stainless steel appliances including a Bosch dishwasher and a built in 36 bottle wine refrigerator. The kitchen also has a cozy built-in bench with oversized West facing windows. As you pass through the kitchen you will find yourself on a lovely outdoor terrace, perfect for outdoor dining or cocktails under the stars. The terrace has open views to the East, North and West.

Back to the foyer and now going left. In this direction you will find a built-in washer and Dryer and the guest half bathroom at the end of the hall. The other door leads to your enormous primary bedroom suite with a Southern exposure, a wall of California Closets with a large full bathroom and an additional window. Every nook of this beautiful home oozes uniqueness and charm! This home has nine-foot ceilings, custom floors throughout and additional storage in the basement. Although a coop building, you can sublet from day one, with board approval. The building allows six-month minimum for rentals. Also, with a couple exclusions, all the furniture can be included in the sale.

The building is a four-unit self-managed building, offering one duplex and the other three apartments occupying a full floor. Built in 1925 and converted to a cooperative in 1968, 131 East 39th Street is a boutique prewar building whose facade and common areas have recently undergone an extensive renovation. The prime location is near great shops, eateries, conveniences, and transportation, close to the FDR Drive, Grand Central, LIRR, Bryant Park, the Morgan Library & Museum, East River Esplanade and more. Pets are allowed case by case with board approval.
