The Townsley at 245 East 35th St. #2E

STILL AVAILABLE AS OF JANUARY 1, 2014!!!! Stunning combination unit in excellent condition! This completely gut-renovated, south-facing convertible-two bedroom apartment is truly sprawling: it boasts a spacious living room with a large sunken dining area that will easily seat 8 guests or covert to a smaller second bedroom, a king-sized master with amazing closet space and a beautiful and functional bathroom. The totally redone open chef’s kitchen has all granite countertops, stainless steel appliances (dishwasher, refrigerator, microwave), and plenty of counter space to cook a fabulous feast. This special apartment also features hardwood floors, a home office area and a lot of charming details and unique touches, and it is surprisingly quiet for being a second floor apartment (especially as the tunnel traffic heads west, the opposite direction of this building). Enjoy breathtaking views of the River and Empire State Building from the rooftop terrace or have an intimate BBQ in the garden. This full-service building features a 24-hr doorman, live-in super, common storage, bike storage, and a laundry room. Conveniently located close to the new Fairway, the NYU Medical Center, Bellevue Hospital, the UN, Grand Central Station, the 4/5/6 trains and the cross-town bus at 34th Street, plus surrounded by the area’s best restaurants and nightlife and close proximity to the East River Esplanade. The reasonable coop board allows pied-a-terre, guarantors, co-purchasing, unlimited subletting after two years of ownership and pets. NOTE: The actual monthly maintenance is $2069 but the owners are offering a concession of $1200/month for 3 years (value of $43,200!). Also, if this is your primary residence you are also eligible for an abatement each month under the STAR program.
