Description

Now available for sale is a newly renovated sterling 1 bedroom and 1.5-bathroom condominium home with low monthlies and boasting abundant natural light and a picture-perfect view of The Empire State Building. Upon entering this spacious home, characterized by minimally wasted square footage, you’re immediately drawn to the oversized living room with large south and east facing windows that flood the space with light throughout the day. The great room offers ample space for living, dining, and a work area, or alternatively, the option to create an additional room for a nursery or extra sleeping space.

Upgraded track lighting enhances the ambiance of the living room. The kitchen has undergone a complete upgrade with white cherry wood cabinetry, stainless steel appliances, gold hardware, marble porcelain floors, granite countertops, and has been seamlessly integrated into the living room to optimize modern living. Tucked away in the hallway before the bedroom is additional storage, including a vented washer/dryer closet, a double door coat closet, and a completely remodeled powder room featuring a brand-new pedestal sink and imported hexagon ceramic tile.

The oversized primary suite boasts an impressive walk-in closet, bathing in natural south-facing sunlight streaming through large windows. It also features a brand-new bathroom with a soaking tub, subway tile, marble porcelain floors, and a sink with under-counter storage. The Benson Condominium is a discreet and intimate building, with only 2 apartments per floor, offering the convenience of a doorman, live in super, and a communal 2nd-floor terrace for leisurely use.

Conveniently located on 34th Street just off of Lexington Avenue, it provides easy access to the 6-subway line and 34th street crosstown bus, as well as an array of neighborhood amenities such as Penelope’s, Utopia Bagel (opening soon!), Trader Joe’s, Fairway, and the AMC Kips Bay theater. Pets are permitted.
