Say hello to Apartment 6E at Lex 54 - a 2-bed/2-bath floor-through condo with three exposures, located in the heart of Midtown East. Complete with generous living space, quintessential city views and a prime location, this peaceful and versatile home is perfect as a primary residence, NYC pied-a-terre or investment property.

The grand entry foyer features three large closets and flexible space for an office or dining area. Opening directly into the oversized living room (measuring nearly 24x13), you won't be short on space for any of your living, dining or lounging needs - this flexible floorplan allows for it all! The wide East-facing windows illuminate the room in sunlight, reflecting beautifully off of the dark hardwood floors.

The separate windowed kitchen is thoughtfully updated, featuring plenty of cabinet space, stainless steel appliances and granite countertops. Both bedrooms are located in their own wing, featuring double exposures with city views and newly refinished wood floors. The primary bedroom features a bright and updated en-suite windowed bathroom complete with a stall shower. The second bedroom is spacious, comfortably fitting a king-sized bed and 2 closets.

The Lex 54 Condominium is a full-service elevator building. Designed by famed architect Rosario Candela, the building is well-run with a 24-hour attended lobby, a common laundry room and dedicated staff. Located at East 54th Street & Lexington Ave, this building's location offers truly unparalleled access and convenience in NYC: multiple trains and buses are located within blocks, as well an impressive lineup of the city's best restaurants, gyms, shops, and everything in between. Many of the city's most quintessential attractions - including Central Park, the MoMA and Rockefeller Center - are nearby, in addition to major midtown offices for walkable commutes.
