Property Status: Active Available furnished $4,750 or unfurnished $4,500 Welcome to Apartment 27C at Tower 53, a renovated, south-facing junior one-bedroom with a private balcony in one of Midtown's most conveniently located full-service condominiums. The apartment has been thoughtfully reconfigured from its original alcove layout into a junior one-bedroom, creating better separation between the living and sleeping areas while maintaining an open and comfortable feel. The bedroom also offers direct access to the bathroom, making the layout particularly functional. The south-facing living area receives excellent natural light and opens directly onto a private balcony with city views and a partial view toward the Hudson River. Having private outdoor space in this location is a major advantage, whether for morning coffee, an evening drink, or simply having a place to step outside without leaving home. The apartment has been renovated and is offered in excellent condition, with a separate kitchen, a defined dining area, generous living space and an efficient layout that offers considerably more functionality and privacy than a traditional studio. Tower 53 is an established full-service condominium with 24-hour doorman and concierge service, a live-in superintendent, porters and attentive building staff. Residents enjoy a furnished rooftop deck with impressive views toward Central Park and Midtown, a package room, on-site parking and a spacious laundry room on the 10th floor. The laundry room is windowed and well-ventilated, making it considerably more pleasant than the typical basement laundry room found in many Manhattan buildings. For additional convenience, residents can also coordinate outside laundry and dry-cleaning services through the building staff and concierge. One of Tower 53's greatest advantages is its exceptional transportation access. The B/D/E subway station at Seventh Avenue and West 53rd Street is essentially outside the building. Just two blocks north, the 57th StreetSeventh Avenue station offers N/Q/R/W service, with an entrance at West 55th Street and Seventh Avenue. The 1 train is available at Broadway and West 50th Street, and the B/D/F/M lines can also be accessed along Sixth Avenue at Rockefeller Center. A short walk to 59th StreetColumbus Circle adds the A/B/C/D and 1 trains, providing even more options for traveling throughout Manhattan. (MTA?) Bus access is equally strong, with nearby M5, M7, M20, M31, M50, M57 and M104 service providing additional north-south and crosstown options throughout Midtown and Manhattan. (MTA?) For frequent travelers, the location also offers very convenient public transportation to all 3 major New York-area airports. The E train provides a straightforward ride to Sutphin BoulevardArcher Avenue/JFK Airport, where passengers can transfer to the AirTrain for JFK. (MTA?) LaGuardia can be reached by taking the E toward Jackson HeightsRoosevelt Avenue and connecting to the Q70 LaGuardia Link. (MTA?) For Newark Liberty, Penn Station is easily accessible from Midtown, providing NJ Transit connections toward Newark Airport. Central Park is another major part of the lifestyle here. The southern end of the park begins at 59th Street, only a few blocks from Tower 53, making it realistic to incorporate the park into your everyday routine rather than treating it as an occasional destination. (Central Park Conservancy?). Morning runs, weekend walks, outdoor workouts or simply taking a break in th..
