Tucked into one of Midtown West's most picturesque tree-lined streets, Apartment 1C at 310 West 55th Street is a spacious prewar one-bedroom, one-bathroom co-op that feels worlds away from the city around it. Raised above street level at the rear of the building, the home looks south over the building's private gardens and is remarkably quiet, a true peaceful oasis in the heart of Manhattan. An inviting foyer opens to a separate dining area with an elegant curved shape, and beyond it a living room that is equally generous in scale with southern facing windows. The bedroom's exposure is both the south and west, with a leafy canopy outside its windows, creating a calm retreat at the end of every day.
Immaculately maintained and move-in ready, the residence has a fresh coat of paint throughout and outfitted with high-end appliances, including a brand-new refrigerator, as well as new window air conditioning units. Both the kitchen and bathroom have their own windows and are finished with quality materials, while hardwood floors and lofty ceilings reflect the home's classic prewar character. Ample closets throughout (and additional building storage) provide the kind of storage that is rarely found in a Manhattan one-bedroom.
Built in 1941, 310 West 55th Street is a full-service prewar cooperative offering a full-time doorman, live-in superintendent, two elevators, a laundry room, private storage, a bike room, and a shared courtyard. Pets are welcome, pied-à-terre permitted, and the board allows up to 80 percent financing. Central Park, Columbus Circle, Carnegie Hall, and the Theater District are moments away, with Lincoln Center, Whole Foods, and a wide range of restaurants, cafés, and shops close by. Commuting is effortless, with the A, B, C, D, and 1 trains at 59th Street-Columbus Circle and the N, Q, R, and W at 57th Street-Seventh Avenue.
