A welcoming foyer with a coat closet flows past a windowed galley kitchen and into a spacious living and dining area saturated with southern light. Gorgeous hardwood floors complement classic sash windows and built-in bookshelves and cupboards. The lovely wood-burning fireplace adds character and charm and is especially luxurious during cool fall and winter nights. The kitchen has eastern exposure and is equipped with custom white lacquer cabinets, sleek white countertops and backsplash, and high-end stainless steel appliances including an eco-friendly induction stove.
The primary suite receives warm southern light and boasts a wall of built-in closets as well as a windowed en-suite bathroom. The second bedroom has northern exposure, a deep reach-in closet, and easy access to a windowed second bathroom. Both bathrooms have classic finishes with deep soaking tubs.

Nestled in the heart of Midtown, the building is four blocks from Pulitzer Fountain and Central Park and is surrounded by restaurants, bars, cafes, cultural institutions, and shops. It is close to the Theater District, Columbus Circle, and Lenox Hill. Nearby subway lines include the 1/A/C/E/B/D/F/M/N/Q/R/W. Pets are welcome.
