Why rent when you can own for less? Welcome to this spacious, well-maintained, 1 bedroom, 1 bathroom home with dining room, renovated kitchen and large walk-in closet that is brimming with original pre-war details. This co-op is a great value, yet provides the luxury and convenience of a full-service doorman and location that is literally in the heart of it all, surrounded by some of the best restaurants and attractions in New York City. And if you work in Midtown, its central spot offers that ultimate luxury of avoiding crowded mass-transit, and walking to the office instead.

Ideal as a first or second home, or for a first-time homebuyer, you enter via a separate Foyer into this South facing apartment that has a fully renovated kitchen with granite counters, custom cabinets, dishwasher, full-size stainless stove and refrigerator. Adjacent to the kitchen is a windowed dining area that could also be used as a home office or converted into a second bedroom (see alternative plan). There is a windowed bathroom with an updated vanity complementing its original, excellent condition, tile and tub. Other apartment features include hardwood strip oak floors, beamed ceilings, original moldings and a large walk-in closet with dressing area.

The layout of this oversized 1 bedroom also offers options to buyers, as other similar units have made adjustments to the floor plan to open the kitchen to the living area, enlarge the living room and add a second bedroom or home office, while retaining ample closet space.
