Description
A spacious 1 bedroom/convertible 2 bedroom and 1 bath residence at 138 East 36th Street in Murray Hill is waiting for the lucky buyer to create their true dream vision. Measuring nearly 1,000 square feet, Apartment 5B provides generous space while exuding charm with beamed ceilings, a windowed kitchen, hardwood floors, and an abundance of built-ins and storage. A generously proportioned living and dining room greet you upon entering the residence. The spacious kitchen is to the immediate right of the entrance and easily accommodates a dining area. The kitchen currently opens directly onto the living room offering an uninterrupted expanse of almost 40 feet. The living room itself is large enough for comfortable living and entertaining offering plenty of space for an additional separate dining area and beautiful and quiet northern exposures with Chrysler Building views. The bedroom easily accommodates a king-sized bed and features a private dressing area plus an additional closet. The large split bathroom is designed to separate uses with a sink and toilet area accessible through the dining area and a more private bath zone directly off the bedroom. 138 East 36th Street is a stately prewar cooperative with a part-time doorman, a resident manager, laundry, storage, and just three apartments per floor. This intimate pied-a-terre and pet-friendly (with board approval) building permits guarantors, and co-purchasing on a case-by-case basis. Located on a tree-lined street in Murray Hill — near Midtown, Kips Bay, and NoMad — this home is surrounded by fantastic shopping, dining, and outdoor space, including Trader Joe’s, the Kips Bay AMC theater, Fairway Market, Bed Bath & Beyond, Grand Central Station and Bryant Park. Transportation is effortless with the S, 4/5/6, 7, B/D/F/M, and Metro-North trains, excellent bus service, CitiBikes plus the 34th Street Ferry Landing, and Midtown Tunnel.
