150 W 55TH Street #5F

A rare opportunity to own this oversized 2-bedroom, 1.5-bath apartment in the heart of midtown, a few blocks from Central Park. Pre-war charm and character welcome you as you enter the building lobby and continue throughout the apartment. The door opens into a gallery foyer, with two spacious closets, that flows nicely into a spacious living room on one side and the kitchen on the other side. Both bedrooms are accessible from the living room. The primary bedroom comfortably fits a king size bed, as well as lounge chair and other furniture, and its enormous walk-in closet even has a window. The second bedroom, also generous in size, can alternatively be positioned as an office or a dining room. The two bedrooms share a windowed bathroom. The windowed kitchen is large enough to accommodate designs and layouts of various types. All rooms have high, beamed ceilings, large windows, and solid oak floors. There is a windowed half bath, as well as a service entry off the kitchen. To complement the apartment's abundant closet space, there is a separate storage unit in the basement. This is a great opportunity to renovate to match demands of life today. Designed and built in 1922 by Larsen Shein Ginsberg Snyder, 150 West 55th Street is known for its famous artistic residents. This intimate and full service pre-war co-op, with 9 stories and 46 units, has a 24-hour doorman and full-time superintendent. It has a beautiful lobby with the entrance to a common landscaped courtyard patio with gas fire pit. Other features of the building include a central laundry room, private storage bins, and bicycle storage. The co-op is pet friendly and allows pieds-a-terre, gifting, co-purchasing, and guarantors. Ideally located from everything New York City offers, homeowners can walk to Central Park, to enjoy strolling, jogging, relaxing, reading, or to admire the park's natural beauty, day or night. Building number 155 sits across the street from the City Center and just a few short blocks from cultural icons such as Carnegie Hall, MoMa and Broadway theaters. It is close to all public transportations, the Time Warner Center, Whole Foods, and some of the finest dining and shopping across the entire city.
