About This Property

A 25th-Floor Corner Two-Bedroom with East River and Empire State Building ViewsFrom the 25th floor of Murray Hill Mews, the East River comes into view between the towers to the east, while the Empire State Building rises above the rooftops to the west. Residence 25H at 160 East 38th Street is an approximately 1,500-square-foot corner home with southern and eastern exposures, two generously sized bedroom suites, and a separate powder room for guests.An entry foyer with a coat closet opens to an 11'1 10' gallery that could serve as a home office or library. Beyond the gallery, the living and dining room stretches more than 37 feet, with oversized windows along two walls. Warm parquet floors run the length of the room, and a floor-to-ceiling mirrored wall reflects the skyline. A windowed dining alcove just off the kitchen has room for a full-size dining table, leaving ample space at the opposite end for living room seating.The separate, windowed kitchen pairs white cabinetry with richly veined countertops and a matching full-height backsplash. Counter space on both sides provides room for meal preparation, and appliances include a four-burner gas cooktop, built-in oven, microwave, and dishwasher.The split layout places the bedroom suites on opposite sides of the home. The 16'10 12' primary bedroom offers room for a king-size bed and dresser, with space by the window for a reading chair. The suite also includes multiple closets and a private bath with a tub, dark veined tile, and brass-tone fixtures. The second bedroom measures more than 16 feet in length and has a walk-in closet. Its en-suite bath features a glass-enclosed shower, black-and-white tile, and a stacked washer and dryer.Murray Hill Mews is a full-service cooperative with a 24-hour doorman, concierge, and live-in resident manager.

Agent's Note

From Curtis Bain. Details about the apartment are drawn from the listing information provided through RLS by Douglas Elliman Real Estate.

The building has a 24-hour doorman, a concierge and a live-in resident manager, along with an indoor pool, a sauna, a children's playroom and a two-level roof deck with city views. Services like these are what you notice first day to day, and they're a big part of what the building offers.

Apartment 25H sits on the 25th floor as a corner home with southern and eastern exposures. The East River shows between the towers to the east, and the Empire State Building rises above the rooftops to the west. The living and dining room runs more than 37 feet with oversized windows along two walls, and a mirrored wall reflects the skyline. Parquet floors run the length of the room.

The kitchen is separate, with white cabinetry, veined countertops and a four-burner gas cooktop, built-in oven, microwave and dishwasher. A windowed dining alcove just off it fits a full-size table, which leaves plenty of room at the other end for seating. I like that the kitchen closes off from the main room, since the living area stays clear while someone cooks.

The bedrooms sit on opposite sides of the apartment. The primary suite is 16 feet 10 inches by 12 feet, with multiple closets and a private bath with a tub. The second bedroom runs more than 16 feet, has a walk-in closet and an en-suite bath with a glass-enclosed shower and a stacked washer and dryer. The 11 foot 1 inch by 10 foot gallery could work as a home office or library.

Because the apartment faces south and east, the open-horizon sun figures are worth knowing. In winter, south-facing windows get about 8.5 hours of direct sun on the solstice, and around the spring equinox they get about 10 hours. Nearby buildings can block some of that light.

The cooperative will finance up to 75 percent of the purchase, and it weighs requests from buyers who want a pied-a-terre, buyers who plan to share ownership, and guarantors on a case-by-case basis. How those terms apply to a particular purchase is a question for your broker or an attorney. Grand Central Terminal is about 6 minutes on foot, with the 4, 5, 6, 7 and S trains, and a D'Agostino is about 1 minute away.
