Perfectly positioned between Lexington and Third Avenue, this charming alcove studio in a full-time doorman building offers exceptional convenience in the heart of Midtown East. Apartment 1C is an inviting, efficiently designed home that works beautifully as a primary residence or pied-à-terre—featuring extremely low monthly maintenance and a price point rarely found in this prime location. The apartment offers a smart, proportionate layout with three distinct living zones for sleeping, dining, and relaxing. The home features two full-sized west-facing windows. The home features a fully renovated kitchen, a windowed and beautifully renovated bathroom, beamed ceilings, hardwood floors, and a separate sleeping alcove that enhances privacy and comfort. The studio is available furnished or unfurnished, offering flexibility for your move-in plans. Built in 1924, 155 East 49th Street is a well-maintained pre-war cooperative with a full-time doorman, new laundry facilities, and a live-in resident manager. Its location places you moments from Grand Central Station, Rockefeller Center, the United Nations, the Waldorf Astoria, world-class museums, and some of Manhattan’s best dining and shopping. Transportation is effortless with access to major subway lines, the 59th Street Bridge, Midtown Tunnel, and quick routes to all area airports. This is a rare opportunity to own a beautifully renovated alcove studio in one of Midtown’s most convenient and distinguished neighborhoods. Sorry, no dogs.
