The building has a polished orange granite entrance surround and discrete air-conditioners, but no sidewalk landscaping and no garage.
There is considerable traffic in this area which is a few blocks south and west of the Queens Midtown Tunnel. There is a subway station nearby at Park Avenue and 33rd Street and there is excellent bus service.
Erected in 2002, this building has only 23 apartments and full-floor penthouses have locked elevator access, wood-burning fireplaces and whirlpool tubs and separate stall showers.
There are some balconies and the apartments have hook-ups for washers and dryers.
