Prewar 2BR on a Tree-Lined Murray Hill Block Flexible Furnishing, Utilities Included
This 2-bedroom, 1-bath co-op sits on East 38th Street between Park and Lexington, a quiet stretch just four blocks from Grand Central.
The unit comes fully furnished, but there's flexibility here. If you'd prefer it unfurnished or partially furnished, the owner is open to it. The incoming tenant simply covers the cost of moving and storing whichever pieces they'd like removed.
Inside, you'll find the details that prewar buyers and renters chase: high beamed ceilings, hardwood floors running through the entire apartment, a decorative fireplace, and French doors opening off the primary bedroom. The layout gives you a true separate kitchen and a dedicated living room, meaning real defined rooms! This is truly a home.
Both bedrooms look out toward the Empire State Building, with the Church of Our Savior and the landmark Townes Home building in view as well. And if you want an even more iconic view, head up to the shared roof deck where the skyline opens up further.
The building offers an elevator (this is a fourth-floor unit), laundry on site, a live-in super, and a ButterflyMX intercom system so you can answer your door from your phone, wherever you are.
Utilities are included in the rent, with the exception of cable and internet.

APPLICATION REQUIREMENTS: This is a co-op, so applicants should expect an interview with the board, a standard background check, and a completed application form. Tenants must carry a $1,000,000 personal liability insurance policy naming the building and management company as beneficiary for the full lease term, with proof of coverage due before move-in. Sorry, no pets.
