Description

Madison Avenue living at its finest!

Rarely do you find a two bedroom, two bathroom corner apartment at The John Murray House, arguably the finest Pre-War residence in Murray Hill.

This home exudes a special warmth.
High beamed ceilings, hardwood floors,
a windowed kitchen and an abundance of morning sunshine will start your day off smiling.

The living room?s massive window overlooks the magnificent Beaux Arts-style Polish Consulate to the left. Straight ahead, behold the world-renowned Morgan Library and Museum, NY?s ?treasure chest? of rare books, precious jewels and impressive collectibles.

East and North exposures, exceptional closet space, and a mini dressing area add to the long list of features. And, this home is so quiet and peaceful, you would never know you were living on Madison Avenue!

The kitchen décor is in need of a loving designer so we?ve priced the apartment well below market value.

Both the building's hallways and elevators were recently renovated yet blend seamlessly with the charm of this 1941 classic.

Amenities include: Full 24-hour concierge service, a laundry room, on-site garage, storage lockers, a bike room, a sitting room in the lobby, and a spectacularly manicured garden roof deck that offers the temptation to reach out and touch the Empire State Building!

And to compliment the friendly atmosphere of The John Murray House is its Pet Friendly pet policy.

See apt. 6J for floor plan dimensions. Identical to 4J.
