Description
Welcome to this modern, spacious, and sun filled 2-bedroom, 2.5-bathroom home situated within a stunning turn-of-the-century townhouse just steps from Park Avenue, on a quiet, tree-lined block of the Historic Murray Hill District.
Upon entering the floor-through apartment via a keyed elevator, you are greeted by a large entry foyer to the right. To the left is a multi-functional lounge, plus powder room, to cater to various entertaining, dining, and family needs. The adjoining kitchen and prep area feature cabinetry custom designed for ample storage.
The generously sized living room boasts a wood-burning fireplace, and oversized windows that flood the home with natural light. A well-appointed secondary bedroom suite sits next to the living room, complete with a Murphy bed, spacious closets, and an ensuite bathroom with standing shower.
Beyond the entrance gallery, an oversized south-facing master bedroom offers much privacy and tranquility. Elegantly finished with a second wood-burning fireplace, a spacious walk-in closet, and ensuite bathroom with an in-unit washer/dryer, there is plenty of space in the master bedroom for a king-sized bed and separate sitting area.
With no nearby high-rises, and a North and South exposure, this fifth-floor apartment gets plenty of sunlight, along with charming views of neighboring historic townhomes. The apartment also comes with hardwood floors throughout, a security system, and private basement storage. This is a home that exudes old world charm while providing all the comforts of modern living.
Constructed in 1866 by Jacob Voorhies, Jr., 108 E 37th gained notable ownership when J.P. Morgan purchased it in 1918 (for his daughter Jane) before commissioning architect Charles A. Platt in 1921 to modernize the outdated Victorian home. After Jane sold the property in 1950, it was converted into luxury apartments in 1951. Conveniently situated near restaurants, bars, boutique shops, museums, attractions, Bryant Park, Grand Central, and major subway lines including 4, 5, 6, 7, and S.
