Freshly renovated and move-in ready, Residence 6C is a bright, north-facing alcove studio with floor-to-ceiling windows, new wide-plank floors, fresh paint and two features that are rare at this price in Manhattan: an in-unit washer/dryer and a gas stove. The 17'9" living room runs the length of the window wall, filling the home with soft, even light and open-sky views. The sleeping alcove sits apart from the living space, so your bed has its own place and the rest of the home stays open for lounging, working from home and entertaining. The 12'2" x 9'2" dining area easily fits a table for four. The open kitchen is made for cooking, with a gas range, granite counters, a breakfast bar under pendant lights, warm wood cabinetry and stainless-steel appliances, including a French-door refrigerator, dishwasher and brand-new microwave. Storage is generous for a studio: a walk-in closet, a separate double-door closet and a stacked Electrolux washer/dryer. The tiled bath has a full soaking tub, and a through-wall HVAC unit keeps you comfortable year-round. 242 East 25th Street is a boutique, 13-story, 54-unit condop built in 2004, with the value of a co-op and the flexibility of condo rules: investors, co-purchasers, guarantors, parents buying for children, pieds-a-terre, subletting and pets are all welcome. Amenities include a doorman from 8 AM to midnight seven days a week, a live-in superintendent, a fitness center, a furnished, landscaped roof deck with Empire State and Chrysler Building views, a bike room and private storage. On a tree-lined block between Second and Third Avenues, at the crossroads of Kips Bay and Gramercy, you're moments from Gramercy Park, Madison Square Park, Flatiron and NoMad dining, and the 6 train at 23rd and 28th Streets. Seller financing is available. The owners will consider holding the mortgage for a qualified buyer at an attractive rate below today's typical bank mortgage rates, a rare opportunity that can meaningfully lower your monthly cost of ownership. Terms subject to seller approval. Land-leased building; please reach out for details. Some photos are virtually staged.
