2-bedroom apartment for sale in Murray Hill-Kips Bay

Showing Note: Buzz 4G on the video intercom, and enter the apartment on the 4th floor! A pre-war duplex with the sprawling space and scale of a house, this rare combination spans appx. 1,200 square feet and is an entertainer's dream with a formal dining room, a dry bar, and 9.5 feet high ceiling. This house-apartment also features two king-sized bedrooms, two full baths, a home office, ample storage (8.5 closets), vented washer/dryer in unit and low maintenance at just over $3,000/month, even with an elevator and part-time resident manager. The upper level is perfect for entertaining. The spacious living room with a decorative fireplace, intricate crown molding, and separate dining room allow you to create two distinct spaces - no squeezing a dining table into the corner of your living room here. The modern, renovated open kitchen, with a new fridge and dishwasher, is positioned just beyond the dining area, next to the dry bar, creating an easy flow for everyday meals and entertaining while remaining independent from the main living space. An elegant interior staircase leads to the private bedroom-wing below, where both bedrooms are impressively proportioned to fit king-sized beds plus extra furniture. The lower level includes a second full bathroom, a vented in-unit washer and dryer that are tucked away in closets with storage shelves, and a thoughtful work-from-home area separate from the bedrooms. The apartment is decked with beautiful hardwood floors throughout, giving it a warm, homey feel. The building itself has been well-maintained and improved, with a newly renovated lobby, elevator, virtual doorman, additional laundry room, and ButterflyMX video intercom security systems. Building storage subject to availability. This co-op has extraordinary flexibility, unlimited subletting after the first year, providing options that are not easy to find in a Manhattan co-op. It also permits pied-a-terre ownership, co-purchasing, gifting and parental purchases. 80% financing allowed, and no flip tax.
