143 East 34th Street

Located in the manageable and convenient Murray Hill neighborhood, this high floor, sun-filled one bedroom, one and half bathroom apartment is close to work in Midtown, Grand Central Station, public transportation, diverse and affordable dining, and a spirited bar scene. With both South and Western exposures through the sound-insulated oversized windows, this spacious apartment feels almost "loft-like" with its generously proportioned rooms, hardwood floors, high ceilings, gallery-style entry, open gourmet kitchen with stainless steel appliances and granite countertops, and abundant closet space. The "great room" accommodates both a living/dining area as well as a home office alcove. In addition, there is a washer/dryer in the apartment. The apartment is in excellent condition. "Yes Virginia, you can have it all".

Built in 2002, the Benson is a 17 story condominium with an attended lobby, excellent resident manager, and common terrace (on the 2nd Floor). With only two units per floor, this intimate building is well-maintained and quiet.
