East 35th Street

Residence 18J sits on the top floor of Murray Hill House — a corner home with a wood-burning fireplace, a feature found in only a small handful of apartments in this 187-unit cooperative and available nowhere below the 16th floor. Step onto the private balcony and the Empire State Building is right there, lit up every night. Above you: nothing but sky. No neighbor's footsteps, no one's renovation, no one's dog. The apartment is offered in original condition and is priced accordingly, aiming to find a new owner to add their individual touches. The oven and microwave have been recently replaced and are in like-new condition. Walls are ready for skim-coating and paint, the bedroom carpet is ready to come up, and the layout is waiting for someone with a point of view. This is the increasingly rare Manhattan opportunity to buy the location, the light, and the outdoor space, and build the finishes to your own taste rather than paying a premium for someone else's. Murray Hill House is a full-service cooperative between Lexington and Park with a 24-hour doorman, concierge, live-in super, landscaped roof deck, on-site garage, bike room, private storage, and laundry. Pets and pieds-à-terre are permitted. The 6 train is around the corner at 33rd Street, with the crosstown bus at 34th. Apartment is being offered as-is.
