A desirable split layout, this spacious two-bedroom, two-bathroom residence includes a sizable private balcony perfect for relaxation or entertaining. As you enter, you're greeted by a gracious foyer with ample closet space, leading into a bright and airy living room that seamlessly connects to a separate dining area. A versatile bonus space can serve as a perfect home office. The windowed kitchen is a chef's delight, offering abundant storage, granite countertops, and stainless steel appliances. Both of the king-sized bedrooms feature en-suite bathrooms and are strategically positioned on opposite ends of the home to ensure maximum privacy. Large windows throughout invite in natural light, while through-the-wall HVAC units provide year-round comfort.

Additional conveniences include an on-site parking garage, valet dry cleaning, newly renovated laundry room on the 10th floor, package room, and cold storage. Experience the vibrant Midtown lifestyle with world-class shopping along Fifth Avenue, exquisite dining options, and cultural attractions such as Lincoln Center, MoMA, and Broadway. Enjoy convenient access to the B, D, and E subway lines located just outside the building. Subletting is permitted, and pets (including cats and dogs under 35 lbs) are welcome. The apartment benefits from low monthly carrying costs. Ongoing fuel assessment $142.07 per month (covers all utilities including heat, hot water, central A/C and electricity).
