No board interview. Liberal subletting. Nearly 1,300 square feet (estimated). Fully renovated. Incredible storage. Click on the virtual tour! Unit 4K at The Hawthorne offers a rare combination of size, flexibility, and turnkey condition in one of Midtown East's most convenient locations. Right above the E/F/6 subway and crosstown buses. This true corner 2-bedroom, 2-bathroom home has been completely gut renovated. More than cosmetic, it includes all new electrical, plumbing, recessed lighting, flooring, kitchen, baths, and custom storage throughout. It feels both sophisticated and practical, designed for comfortable everyday living while enjoying entertaining and long term residence all with very reasonable monthlies. A gracious entry foyer with multiple custom closets opens into an expansive living and dining area with wide-plank hardwood flooring and wonderful natural light. The scale of the space comfortably allows both formal dining and oversized living room furniture including working from home. The chef's kitchen was designed by a chef for cooking and entertaining, featuring custom cabinetry, granite countertops and backsplash, abundant storage, a hidden walk-in pantry, Thermador & Fisher & Paykel appliances, a professional-grade gas range and even a pot filler. Unlike other units in the line, this kitchen was opened for entertainment and modern layout with a breakfast bar. Tucked away from the street for ultimate quiet, both bedrooms are incredibly spacious with large and custom closets that were repositioned for optimal layout. The primary suite offers a peaceful retreat with a beautifully renovated en-suite bath, while the second bathroom is equally impressive with oversized tilework, contemporary fixtures, floating vanities, and backlit mirrors. The Hawthorne is a full-service, pet-friendly condop with NO board interview and flexible sublet policies, making it attractive for many purchase options. It features a 24-hour doorman, live-in superintendent, roof deck, bike room, storage, laundry facilities, and an attached third-party garage. Perfectly situated at the cusp of Midtown East and Sutton Place, residents enjoy immediate access to the E, M, and 6 trains, Whole Foods, Trader Joe's, Equinox, SoulCycle, and some of Manhattan's most celebrated restaurants, shopping, and business districts. Ideal for commuting, exploring the city, traveling to airports - you name it, and it's even easier from here.
