Murray Hill has seen a wave of new multi-family development in recent years, mostly in the form of large rental and condo buildings along the neighborhood's southern and eastern perimeter. But in its center, stately brownstones and former mansions remind us how the area was the city's elite residential district before the Upper East Side gained in popularity.
While the neighborhood has taken on a more commercial and transient vibe in past decades, thanks to its proximity to Grand Central, Midtown, and the United Nations, the neighborhood's genteel blocks is attractive to those who desire the convenience of an easy commute and access to all that Manhattan has to offer. At 135 East 38th Street, a six-story townhouse has undergone a multi-year renovation to provide all the bells and whistles 21st century living demands.
