You’ve got all the hustle, bustle and excitement of Midtown Manhattan at your feet in this bright, modern apartment sitting just a ten-minute walk from the Rockefeller Center. And just as cool as its surroundings, this home has been carefully curated with both design and comfort in mind to give you a relaxing retreat from the buzz of the city below. We love how much natural light fills the main open-plan living area where a comfy sofa invites you to kick back and relax with one of the books from the shelves. The dining table here beckons bagel breakfasts ahead of a busy day of sightseeing or celebratory dinners when you’re not out sampling your neighbourhood’s food scene. The bedroom, meanwhile, boasts a desk space for home-working and a luxuriously dressed bed to sink into at the end of the night. Factor in the bathroom’s rainfall shower and your access to the building’s communal gym, and you’re all set for a carefree stay. Outside of your home, you’ve got plenty to see and do within easy walking distance, including the Chrysler Building (ten minutes), Central Park (eighteen minutes) and the bright lights of Times Square (twenty minutes).
