Marvel at the spectacular views over New York's East River and Manhattan from this luxury apartment's stylish and expansive rooftop terrace. It's the perfect place for a sundowner – perhaps a cosmopolitan or a glass of champagne while you watch the light fade over the city. Or, admire the vistas from inside – we particularly love the ones from the bedroom. If you want to keep up with your fitness regime, there's also a communal gym here. The location of this home is no less impressive, situated in prestigious Murray Hill, go for a stroll along the riverside – it's just one block away, while the United Nations Building is a ten-minute walk. One of the Big Apple’s most iconic landmarks, the Empire State Building, is a fifteen-minute saunter and Grand Central Station is just twenty minutes on foot. This home is perfect if you want to live like a true New Yorker.

Local guide
About Kips Bay
Kips Bay is a mainly residential neighbourhood, moments away from the rush of Midtown, which has lovely waterfront views across to Brooklyn and Queens. The neighbourhood combines historic brick townhouses with new high-rise apartments, and is home to some of the country's best hospitals - a good neighbourhood for the hypochondriacs amongst you perhaps? Some people accuse it of being non-descript and, it's true, it's definitely not going to win...
