PREWAR STUNNER! This elegant home spans approximately 1,000sf and is currently configured as a large one bedroom with a formal dining room that can seamlessly convert to a second bedroom or a large home office (refer to alternate floorplan.) The spacious entry foyer with two large closets welcomes you into this sophisticated residence adorned with timeless architectural elements; over 9' beamed ceilings, crown and picture moldings, French doors, soundproof windows and new hardwood floors featuring a recreation of the original 1900’s Walnut In-lay design. The generous-sized living room, centered by a stunning, white marble fireplace, looks out onto the tree-lined street with views of The Chrysler Building. The king-sized and sun-filled primary bedroom is complimented by two, deep cedar lined closets and an adjacent, over-sized windowed bathroom with marble counter, subway tiled walls & an original stained-glass door window (bathroom is so large that other apartments have created two full baths here.) Featuring a window in every room, the natural light further ensconces the home with golden ambiance. The separate, windowed-renovated kitchen features a Sub-Zero refurbished refrigerator freezer, and Miele dishwasher, that are tastefully encased in custom, upper and lower wooden cabinetry. A Viking range with a vented cooktop, as well as wine 'fridge complete the high-ceiling and highly functional kitchen. Rounding out this well-appointed home is a large, basement storage cage with a shelving system included! 138 East 36th Street is an intimate, pre-war co-op with strong financials. Located on a tree-lined street just a short distance from Grand Central Station, Madison Square Park, Gramercy Park, Nomad, Bryant Park, LGA, Penn Station, and convenient to midtown restaurants and shopping.
