A rare one-bedroom condo in Kips Bay that actually checks the boxes: light, quiet, and low monthlies. Bright and south-facing, this fourth-floor residence combines classic prewar character with thoughtful updates in a well-positioned walk-up. The living room gets great natural light throughout the day and features hardwood floors and a ceiling height that gives the space an open, airy feel. The kitchen has been updated with clean, modern finishes and stainless steel appliances, including a dishwasher. The bedroom is positioned at the back of the apartment, overlooking a courtyard and neighboring carriage house, which keeps it notably quiet and removed from street noise. The bathroom has been refreshed, and the apartment is move-in ready overall, with the ability to install a washer/dryer if desired. Located in a well-maintained, investor-friendly condo, the building offers low monthly costs and a flexible ownership structure that's increasingly hard to find in the neighborhood. Pets are welcome. Thru-wall A/C easily installed, courtesy of wall sleeves in both the bedroom and living room. Set on a tree-lined block in Kips Bay, you're close to multiple subway lines, restaurants, and everyday conveniences, while still enjoying a quieter residential feel. There is also potential to combine with the adjacent unit for those looking to create a larger home (inquire for details).
