Bright and spacious Murray Hill alcove studio. Its eastern exposure pours sunlight in during the morning and continues throughout much of the day. The generous amount of space offers distinct living, dining, and sleeping areas that make it feel much larger than a typical studio apartment. There are attractive custom built-in shelving and cabinets that provides exceptional storage, while adding character and functionality. There are customized window shades and a recently installed through-the-wall air conditioning unit. The customized closets maximize organization and efficiency. The renovated kitchen features polished white granite countertops, stainless steel appliances, including a microwave and dishwasher, abundant cabinetry, and even a built-in wine rack. The recently renovated windowed bathroom is equally impressive, with attractive tiled walls and a clean, modern design. The Wingate is a full-service cooperative that has a recently renovated lobby, a full-time doorman, and a live-in resident manager. There is a beautifully landscaped roof deck with panoramic city and river views. Additional amenities include bike storage, private storage, and notably low monthly maintenance. Pieds-à-terre and co-purchasing are allowed, and owners may sublet after two years of ownership, subject to board approval. The building is pet friendly, but sorry, no dogs. The Wingate sits in the very heart of Murray Hill. Just outside you'll find a great assortment of restaurants, cafés, bars, and shops, including Trader Joe's and Whole Foods. There's great access to transportation: Grand Central Terminal is just minutes away, providing access to the 4, 5, 6, 7, and Shuttle trains, while the 34th and 42nd Street crosstown buses offers convenient east-west service across Manhattan. For drivers, access to the Midtown Tunnel is quick and easy, and the nearby East 34th Street Ferry Landing provides a scenic alternative for commuting throughout the City, including to Brooklyn and Queens.
