Description

At the edge of Gramercy and Kips Bay on the prettiest stretch of tree lined East 28th Street, you'll discover this mint 2 BR/2 Bath home in a classic building designed by Emery Roth and built by Bing and Bing in 1931. Blending prewar details like high beamed ceilings, handsome hardwood floors and a working fireplace, this spacious apartment has been renovated throughout and features split bedrooms each with en suite windowed bath. An enlarged windowed cook's kitchen is outfitted with a 5-burner Viking stove, stone counters, deep Elkay sink, Miehle dishwasher and ample custom cabinetry to accommodate every culinary whim. A 30' fireside Living/Dining Room overlooks a pleasing architectural street view from oversized windows. The bathrooms boast marble basket weave floors, statuary marble, double shower, tub and nickel plated hardware. Closet space is exceptionally abundant. Additional private storage may be rented for a nominal fee. The full service co-op welcomes pied--terre buyers, pets, guarantors and co-purchasers. A Resident Manager and attentive staff preside over a full service co-op with a bike room, laundry facilities and one of the city's best roof decks with panoramic views. Centrally located near public transportation and a short walk to Madison Square Park, the property is steps from excellent dining and nightlife options. Some lighting fixtures are excluded from the sale.
