EXPANSIVE MUSEUM & PARK BLOCK JUNIOR 1BR w/OPEN CITY VIEWS

UPGRADED, BRIGHT, CORNER HOME w/EAT-IN KITCHEN, AMAZING CLOSET SPACE, HIGH CEILINGS

FULL SERVICE, CLASSIC BUILDING w/TROPHY ROOF DECK & LAUNDRY RIGHT ACROSS THE HALL

This home’s surprising scale and expansive flexibility have served its happy owner during every phase of his life: When he was a sole resident, when he found his sweetheart, and when their household of two became a party of three. During every exciting chapter, this lovingly upgraded Galaxy residence beautifully provided comfort and joy. Rare is the junior 1 bedroom that can offer such flexibility for growth. Here, in this easy-to-live, easy-to-love corner space — with its voluminous, high-ceilinged layout — you, too, can spread out and live your story.

The entry opens to a sweet foyer, a space graced by three deep, tall, custom hall closets and a wall of elegant, custom designed storage spaces. This foyer unfolds to the comfortable and attractive living room. With two big windows with two bright, open, big-sky exposures, cross-breezes and sunshine loom large. This cheerful room’s forever views overlook the area’s low-rise historic district, and opens to the handsome and practical kitchen. With stone counters, a dining bar, and higher-end stainless appliances, the open-plan kitchen is good looking and designed for easy entertaining. The quiet and bright bedroom space in this large junior 1BR is well-planned, crowned by two clerestory windows, french doors, a big East Facing window, and generous closets/storage. High ceilings soar above, underfoot are oak floors, and this home is served by a classic windowed bath.

Supremely situated in a terrifically run, full service building – The Galaxy – offering its friendly residents one of our city’s premiere planted roof decks with five-star city and park views. With a perfect location right in front of beautiful Museum Park and the Museum of Natural History, and on the same block as Central Park, this happy home is conveniently located on one of Manhattan’s most celebrated blocks. Premiere shopping, dining, cultural, entertainment and fitness destinations are at your doorstep, and easy transportation options abound. With a resident Super, there is also bike storage, and there are washer/dryers located on every floor.

If you need a home you will love and a space you can grow into — in a prime location you will never grow out of — then come discover this special star in the beloved Galaxy.
