At Cassa Residences, one of Midtown Manhattan's most coveted full-service addresses, this exceptional home offers something the market rarely delivers: a luxury residence you can live in fully, use on your own terms, and have working for you the moment you step away. The layout itself gives you options before the leasing flexibility even comes into play. Configure it as a generous, open one-bedroom with expansive living space, or close off the flex room to create a true second bedroom - ideal for guests, a home office, or maximizing rental income. Few homes at this price point in Midtown give you that kind of control over how you live and how you earn. What makes this residence further exceptional is Cassa's unique 1 to 12-month leasing policy - a structural advantage almost nonexistent among white-glove Manhattan buildings. Whether you're here year-round, seasonally, or simply want a Midtown base that offsets its own costs, the flexibility is yours. Annual leases command $6,400 or more per month, while corporate relocations, extended-stay executives, and peak-season demand can push monthly rates considerably higher. The building's concierge and full-service infrastructure do the heavy lifting. The home itself is worthy of the address. Tucked on a corridor shared with just three other residences, the privacy and quiet feel far removed from the pace of Midtown just outside. Expansive windows frame open city views and bring in strong natural light throughout the day. The Pullman-style kitchen is finished with Pietra Bedonia stone countertops, white lacquer cabinetry, and a fully integrated suite of Miele, Wolf, and Liebherr appliances. Bathrooms feature Glacier glass walls, limestone floors, Travertine marble vanities, an enclosed shower, and a deep soaking tub. Dark wide-plank hardwood floors, high ceilings, and an in-unit washer/dryer complete an interior that tenants and owners alike will not want to leave. Cassa's amenities match the caliber of the residence: 24-hour doorman and concierge, a fitness center, residents' lounge, landscaped outdoor terrace, and Butter Restaurant in the building. Bryant Park is two minutes on foot, Grand Central five, with multiple subway lines offering seamless access to the entire city. A residence this versatile, this well-finished, and this well-located - one that adapts to your lifestyle and finances itself when it suits you - does not come available often.
