Seller offering $20,000 closing credit toward renovations. If you've been looking for a convertible alcove studio that checks off all the boxes, this is the one: high floor, fantastic light, spacious size, loads of closets, pied-a-terre friendly, full-service, and very welcoming to pets. Located on the 10th floor and facing east, this home is light-flooded from windows spanning the entire 19 foot width of the living and sleeping areas. The expansive room can accommodate both living and dining areas, and the alcove is deep enough to be out of sight from the other end of the apartment. Aside from its generous size, the apartment allows for multiple layout changes to suit your desires. Want an open plan? The galley kitchen can be opened to the living room. Want a separate bedroom? The alcove is easily enclosed to create privacy. Want more than the apartment's four large closets -- a ready-made space exists to add one. What else? A fantastic live-in superintendent and group of doormen/staff provide 24/7 service. The building has a furnished roof deck with gorgeous views, laundry room, storage (separate charge and waitlist), and garage (separate charge). Convenient Midtown location is close to beautiful waterside parks, including the new East River Greenway pedestrian bridge, loads of grocery and shopping options, including Trader Joe's, multiple subway and bus lines in every direction, and easy access to the FDR.
