Apartment for sale in Murray Hill-Kips Bay, Manhattan: studio, 1 bathroom. Asking price $399,000. Built in 1962.

From the original listing · Realtor.comShow

Recently renovated, this spacious Kips Bay studio combines a thoughtfully designed layout with modern finishes and an exceptionally convenient location. The generous main room comfortably accommodates distinct sleeping, living, dining, and work-from-home areas, offering flexibility rarely found in a studio. Hardwood floors and a large window create a warm, inviting living space with room for a queen-size bed, sofa, dining table, and additional furnishings. A separate kitchen keeps meal preparation comfortably apart from the living area and features dark wood cabinetry, stone countertops, stainless-steel appliances, and a gas range. Built in 1962, 229 East 28th Street is a well-maintained post-war cooperative on a picturesque, low-traffic block. The elevator building offers a virtual doorman and video intercom, a full-time superintendent, a renovated laundry room, bike storage, and individual storage lockers available for rent. With reasonable monthly maintenance and flexible purchasing policies, this well-run co-op welcomes pieds-a-terre, co-purchasing, gifting, and parents purchasing for children. Financing of up to 80% is permitted, and subletting is allowed after three years of ownership, subject to building policies and approval. The building is pet-friendly, permitting dogs up to 35 pounds. Enjoy easy access to neighborhood restaurants, cafes, and popular bars, with Trader Joe's just a few blocks away. Convenient transportation and proximity to Murray Hill and Gramercy put shopping, dining, nightlife, and everyday essentials within easy reach.
