Description
Huge alcove studio with sunny south views of quiet townhouse gardens from 18 feet of windows in the center of Midtown Manhattan! The kitchen is tastefully renovated with lots of cabinets and soft-close drawers. There are two display window cabinets and good counter space. The apartment needs a paint job and new floors. The bathroom has been updated, but would benefit from a new sink and vanity. A separate dressing area off the sleeping alcove has a double-closet and there are coat and storage closets in the foyer. 240 E 55 Street is a sought-after cooperative in a fantastic Midtown location. Most of the apartments in this building are alcove studios, and because they are so large, many have converted into 1-bedrooms (see StreetEasy's floor plan archive). Doorman services Tue-Fri 4PM-12AM and Sat-Mon 8AM-12AM. Live-in super and full-time porter/handyman. Storage/Bike room and Laundry Room in the basement. Pied-a-terre, co-purchase, parents buying for children (and vice versa) considered. Unlimited subletting permitted after 1 year. NO flip tax!
