About This Property
This immaculately renovated two bedroom, two bathroom apartment is in pristine condition, offering a serene and inviting turn-key home. It is a sophisticated yet cozy oasis from Manhattan’s vibrant energy.
The thoughtfully designed layout includes a bright and beautiful living room which is large enough to hold both a dining area and a separate grand sitting area. The whole living area is bathed in calming, cheerful light from its southern facing windows. Beyond the dining area lies the stunning kitchen with a large pass-through window, which affords connection with the dining space, extremely durable premium granite countertops, sleek white cabinets and high-end stainless steel
appliances. The quality materials used in renovating the kitchen will last the test of time over countless meals prepared.
Off the entry foyer, which holds two deep closets, lies a hall which leads past a full bathroom with a tub and more closet space to the two privatized bedrooms. Each room is expansive in size with immense closets. The primary bedroom also has a spacious and comfortable en-suite bathroom with a spa-like shower.
The Hawthorne is a full-service, pet-friendly cond-op which offers the flexibility of condominium-style rules, like a liberal subletting policy, paired with the community feel of being in a cooperative.
The building’s amenities include a 24-hour doorman, live-in superintendent, central laundry room, a beautifully landscaped roof deck with an exceptional view of the City, a bike room, private storage
and an attached parking garage with direct building access. LOW MAINTENANCE costs make this offering especially appealing.
Located in Turtle Bay on the east side of midtown Manhattan, the building is surrounded by an outstanding selection of restaurants, cafés, markets, shopping and everyday conveniences. It is a
short distance from Central Park as well as the East River Promenade. Additionally, there is very easy access to transportation which connects you to all the corners of the City.
Agent's Note
From Curtis Bain. Details about the apartment are drawn from the listing information provided through RLS by Keller Williams NYC.
The building was completed in 1959 and rises 13 stories with 144 units, and its 24-hour doorman and live-in superintendent are the core of this home. The roof deck has a city and skyline view, and the building also has a bike room, private storage, a central laundry room and an attached parking garage with direct building access.
Inside, the living room is large enough for a dining area and a separate sitting area, and its windows face south. With an open horizon, direct sun can reach the living area from about 9:55 AM to 4:01 PM at the summer solstice and from about 7:41 AM to 4:07 PM at the winter solstice, though nearby buildings can block it.
The kitchen sits beyond the dining area and has a large pass-through window onto the dining space, which I like when the table is close to the cooking. It has stone counters, white cabinets, and stainless steel appliances including a cooktop, oven, dishwasher, microwave, refrigerator and freezer.
The two bedrooms are separate from each other, reached down a hall past a full bathroom with a tub. The primary bedroom has an en-suite bathroom with a shower, and walk-in closets are part of the layout. The entry foyer has two deep closets.
The listing describes the subletting policy as liberal and the building as pet-friendly. Co-op purchases still involve board approval and financial review, so it's worth raising those early. The Lexington Avenue and 53rd Street station is about 1 minute on foot with the 6, E and F trains, and Whole Foods Market is about 5 minutes away.
