A Classic New York Studio with One-Bedroom Potential

Join us Thursday at 10:00 AM for Breakfast in 4B!

An oversized prewar studio with the space, light, and flexibility to become so much more. Ideal as a primary residence or pied-à-terre, this beautifully proportioned home offers the rare opportunity to enjoy a spacious studio today or create a separate bedroom tomorrow.

Built in 1941, at the close of the prewar era, the apartment retains its classic New York character, with original hardwood floors, generous proportions, and an exceptional flow. The expansive main living area enjoys a bright southern exposure overlooking the garden treeline, while an additional eastern window brings in natural light and air.

What truly sets this home apart is its versatility. The extra window and generous footprint offer the potential to create a junior one-bedroom or a more traditional one-bedroom layout with relatively modest alterations. Two alternate floor plans illustrate the possibilities, configurations already familiar within the building. Any conversion would be subject to applicable approvals.

A separate dining gallery creates a natural transition between the living area and foyer, providing ample room for a proper dining table. The windowed kitchen features stainless steel appliances, generous counter space, and abundant cabinetry. The spacious, windowed bathroom is clean and well-maintained.

Storage is another standout feature. A dedicated dressing room, together with three additional closets, provides exceptional storage for a studio residence.

The building is a financially sound, well-maintained cooperative offering a 24-hour doorman, shared outdoor garden, laundry facilities, and a welcoming, pet-friendly atmosphere. Its flexible policies make it particularly appealing to both primary residents and pied-à-terre buyers.

And then there is the location.

Situated on West 55th Street between Eighth and Ninth Avenues, the apartment is moments from Central Park, Columbus Circle, Lincoln Center, Broadway, Restaurant Row, and some of Manhattan's finest dining. Hudson River Park and the waterfront piers are also within easy reach.

Yet this particular block offers something unexpected: a quieter, distinctly New York atmosphere, where horse-drawn carriages still make their way to the neighborhood stables, just steps from the energy of Midtown.

A classic prewar home, exceptional storage, remarkable flexibility, and one of Manhattan's most convenient locations. An opportunity to make this studio entirely your own.
