A thoughtful renovation and views over the gardens at the rear of the building distinguish this inviting Kips Bay one-bedroom. A generous entry foyer with built-in shelving and a large closet provides a welcoming introduction to the home, while custom millwork conceals both the heating and through-the-wall air conditioning. Clean finishes and abundant storage are found throughout.

The open kitchen and living room form a welcoming great room anchored by rich wood cabinetry, stone countertops and a suite of stainless steel appliances, including a Liebherr refrigerator, Bosch dishwasher, gas range and wine cooler. A wraparound counter provides additional workspace and helps define the kitchen within the larger living area.

North-facing windows overlook the gardens and neighboring buildings at the rear of the property rather than the street, bringing soft natural light into the apartment. The bedroom accommodates a king-sized bed and additional furniture.

The contemporary renovated bathroom is anchored by a striking mosaic feature wall framed by black-and-white tile. A pedestal sink and framed mirror complete the design.

This pet-friendly elevator building permits dogs up to 35 pounds and features a renovated laundry room, bike storage, private storage lockers and a video intercom. Pieds-à-terre, co-purchasing, gifting and parents purchasing for children are permitted, and subletting is allowed after three years of ownership.

Madison Square Park, Trader Joe’s, the 40,000-square-foot Fairway Market and NYU Langone Health are all nearby. Marta, 2nd Ave Deli and Bhatti Indian Grill are just a few of the neighborhood’s well-known restaurants, and the 6 train at Park Avenue South provides direct access to Grand Central and Union Square.
