Agent's Note
From Curtis Bain. Details about the apartment are drawn from the listing information provided through RLS by Next Stop NY.
The Hamilton already has a 24-hour doorman and concierge, a landscaped roof deck, an on-site garage, a bicycle room and central laundry, so much of the building's day-to-day setup is in place at 305 East 40th Street. The listing describes it as a 21-story co-op on Murray Hill.
Apartment 18J sits on the 18th floor and offers about 1,200 square feet with open city views that run south to the Freedom Tower. It keeps its original finishes, which means you'd be planning the work yourself. For a buyer who wants to shape a high-floor home from the start, that's a real opportunity, and the proportions and light the listing describes are a good place to begin.
Ownership is more flexible than many co-ops. The listing permits pied-a-terre use, co-purchasing, guarantors and subletting, each with board approval. Because board approval and the building's financial review shape the timeline, I'd confirm the requirements with the board before making an offer.
The apartment is in a quiet pocket of the city's most established residential area. Grand Central and the United Nations are named as nearby, along with Midtown's dining and shopping, which makes it easy to get to work and to the rest of the city.
