The Adlon, #2A

Midtown West, Manhattan, NY 10019

Quiet, corner, 1-bed/1-bath available in the classic pre-war building, The Adlon, located in the heart of Midtown. This apartment has retained a lot of the original charm and architectural aspects from the days of being a hotel (including the location of a former room safe!) providing the grandeur of yesteryear's apartments. The door frames, wall moldings, ornamental ceiling plasterwork, and the oversized cast iron tub are all in tact. The apartment starts with a foyer that has two large closets before entering a grand scale living room with 9 1/2 foot ceilings. To one side is a windowed galley-style kitchen ready for a make-over; to the other side of the living room is a small hallway passing the windowed bathroom with large soaking tub. The corner bedroom has windows on two walls and room for a king-sized bed. This is ideal for an artist, performer, Broadway aficionado, or musician who is seeking a peaceful environment at the end of their night and tranquility during the day. Someone with an eye towards restoration and "period" renovation will make this a dream home. The Adlon is a part of a collection of local "Arts and Crafts" architecture apartment buildings built in 1912 -- characteristics still visible on the exterior as well as the lobby and stairwells. There is a full-time doorman -- who retrieves your mail from the vintage room-key cabinet. The building has a live-in Super, basement laundry, and a bike room. This pet-friendly building allows pieds-a-terre, has a liberal sub-let policy, and is the former home to greats like Mickey Mantle and Carol Burnett.
