A RARE MURRAY HILL DUPLEX | Empire State Building Views | White-Glove Pre-War Living!

This is the one that stops the scroll. Spanning over two floors of a landmark 1924 George F. Pelham pre-war co-op, this meticulously renovated 4-bedroom, 3-bath duplex offers 2,243 square feet of townhouse-scale living with the ease of full-service building life: full-time doorman, live-in super, and a newly renovated rooftop with iconic skyline views included.

The main level was designed for both daily living and grand entertaining. A sun-drenched living room flows into a dedicated dining area and into a massive chef's kitchen clad in Carrara marble, anchored by a Wolf range, Liebherr refrigeration, and a walk-in pantry. A quiet library with custom red oak built-ins doubles effortlessly as a fifth bedroom. Nine-foot ceilings, solid oak floors, and oversized pre-war baseboards set a tone of understated, timeless elegance throughout.

Ascend the sculptural staircase to a private upper-floor sanctuary. The sprawling primary suite features a dedicated dressing room and a pristine en-suite bath. Three additional bedrooms share the home's generous eastern, western, and southern light — and more than one captures a glittering glimpse of the Empire State Building. Newly installed energy-efficient windows, custom millwork, and generous closet space are found throughout.

The location delivers everything Midtown living promises: two blocks to the 6 train and Grand Central, moments from Whole Foods, Trader Joe's, The Morgan Library, and the East River Greenway. Equinox, Bryant Park, Sarge's Deli, and the 34th Street Ferry are all within easy reach.

On the maintenance: At $7,292/month (42% tax deductible), it reflects the full-service nature of this building, and for context, real estate taxes are included, which is typical of well-run Murray Hill co-ops of this size and vintage. For the right buyer, it's the cost of never worrying about a thing.

Pet-friendly. Gifting allowed. Pieds-à-terre, guarantors, and parents buying for children are considered on a case-by-case basis.
