Description

Value is the name of the game at this oversized alcove studio in the heart of Midtown. The open plan living room has room for you to spread out and relax as well as a full dining area and home office. The galley kitchen awaits your touch to bring it to perfection.

The sleeping alcove easily fits a queen sized bed and can be converted into a real bedroom. A roomy dressing area leads into the master bath. Hardwood floors throughout. The apartment has tons of storage (four large closets).

Light comes in from wall to wall North facing windows.

Located at The Sterling, one of Midtown East’s best full service buildings. You are near great restaurants like The Shadmor, Smith & Wollensky, Felidia, and Crave Fish Bar, great shopping such as Bloomingdale’s , the Apple flagship store, Home Depot, Trader Joe’s, and Whole Foods, and a short walk from Central Park. Manhattan’s first Super Target is on its way too!

Commuting is easy when you are near eight subway lines and the Second Avenue Select Bus. There is a huge common roof deck with nice views of the skyline, live in super, a 24 hour doorman with package delivery, and a large common laundry room. All hallways and the lobby have been recently renovated.

Pet friendly. Pied-à-terres and co-purchasing is permitted. A video tour is available upon request. Stop by and take a look!
