Agent's Note

From Curtis Bain. Details about the apartment are drawn from the listing information provided through RLS by Brown Harris Stevens Residential Sales LLC.

A wraparound terrace is the feature that sets this one-bedroom penthouse at 314 East 41st Street apart. A door from the living room opens onto a north-facing terrace with hydrangea planters, and the listing describes enough room for summer entertaining. Outdoor space like this changes how the apartment gets used, and you'll notice it most when a meal or a gathering happens outside without leaving the home.

Ten-foot ceilings and marble floors give this 1928 building its pre-war character, along with defined rooms and architectural detail. Oversize casement windows with three exposures bring light in from more than one direction. The north-facing terrace gets direct sun at the summer solstice for about 4.2 hours, split between early morning and early evening, though nearby buildings can block it. The apartment comes semi-furnished, which helps when you're planning where a sofa, a table or a bed will go.

The kitchen has stainless steel appliances, and the bathroom is finished in marble.

This elevator cooperative has 200 units and sits in the Tudor City Historic District, and it adds a storage space for residents. Grand Central Terminal is about 7 minutes on foot, with the 4, 5, 6, 7 and S trains. United Nations Headquarters is about 7 minutes away, and Gristedes is about a minute away. Robert Moses Playground is about 3 minutes away, and the East River is about 0.2 miles off, so you won't have far to walk to the water.
