4 SNIFFEN Court

Agent's Note

From Curtis Bain. Details about the apartment are drawn from the listing information provided through RLS by Corcoran Group.

The private outdoor space here is a roof deck of over 60 square feet, and the listing describes it as a potential retreat. On a single family house, a roof deck gives you somewhere to sit outside without leaving the home, which is worth more than it sounds in Murray Hill.

The main living space is the first thing you'll notice. The listing describes very high ceilings that give the room real volume and leave plenty of room for furniture arrangements that a standard ceiling height won't allow. High ceilings don't fix a floor plan on their own, but here they give the layout room to work. A fireplace adds a focal point.

The bedrooms can be reconfigured, which means the current two bedroom, two bathroom arrangement is a starting point rather than a fixed answer. Laundry is in the home, with a washer and dryer in the unit, and that's a real everyday convenience in a city where laundry often means leaving the apartment. Cooling comes from wall air conditioning units.

The house sits on a cobblestone cul-de-sac in Sniffen Court, and the listing notes that it once belonged to Cole Porter. Grand Central-42 St is about 8 minutes on foot, with the 4, 5, 6, 7 and S trains, and the 33 St station on the 6 is about 6 minutes away. St. Vartan Park is about 5 minutes away, and The Morgan Library & Museum is about 6 minutes.
