Broker & Buyer Comments

This "fastidiously maintained" 1959 condop offers "generous" apartments in a "prime Midtown East location" with "everything at your doorstep." The "intimate lobby" and "tastefully renovated" hallways of this Boak and Raad-designed building lead to units ranging from studios to three-bedrooms, some boasting "substantial terraces." While the "friendly doormen" earn praise, building maintenance can be "hit-or-miss." Perks include a "roof deck" and "pin-drop quiet" north-facing views of the Lipstick Building courtyard, plus "incredible" access to "culinary delights" and transit options.
