Listing Notes

RENT Stabilized Tenant in Place! This oversized alcove studio is almost 600 SF and features a generous layout and gets great light. It faces south and is extremely quiet. It is priced approximately 60% below market value for a smart and savvy buyer. The apartment is in need of some updating but has been meticulously maintained throughout the years. The pre-war quality of construction is evidenced the moment you enter the apartment. There is a lovely entry foyer with a very large double hung coat closet. As you progress you will walk under a lovely archway that will let you arrive in the main living area. This is where you will find a large walk in closet that has been removed and converted into quite a unique sleeping area. This alcove area is able to accommodate a queen sized bed and/or a Murphy bed. The kitchen has a window for ventilation and light and has the original pre-war cabinetry completely intact. In keeping with the pre-war aesthetic, there are beamed ceilings and original hardwood floors that add a warmth and depth to the apartment. The apartment faces south onto a tree lined street that allows a ton of natural night to cascade in through the wall of windows facing the street. A quite unique feature of this apartment is the private dressing room area which leads to the bathroom. This area could also be used as a home office on those days when working from home. The Parc Vendome is one of the premier pre-war condos in NYC. The location in Midtown Manhattan is one of the best locations in NYC. Being a pre-war condo is incredibly unique as most pre-war buildings in NYC are Coops. Another amazing feature of the building is that the common charges include, electricity, heat and hot water. The building is 1 block from Columbus Circle and Central Park. To get to Lincoln Center, Moma or Hells Kitchen is only a 5 minute walk. The building is beyond convenient in terms of location. The building has full-time doorman, private gardens, a billiards room, a library, a music room, a card room and more. Don't delay and reach out today with any questions about this amazing apartment. Please note there is currently a rent stabilized tenant in place paying $68.00 per month and there is an assessment of $102.08. per month.
