Building: The Charleston

The Charleston is one of Murray Hill’s most sought after luxury, condominium buildings.
Conveniently located on 34th Street between 2nd and 3rd Avenues, this prestigious property offers a substantial list of amenities, including: 24/7 doorman and concierge; a stylish, fully equipped fitness center; a landscaped tree-lined roof deck with spectacular 360 degree views of New York City’s most famous landmarks; free wireless internet access in communal areas; and a live-in super.
The roof is fully furnished with tables, chairs and chaise lounges to bask and relax in the sun and, as the building is very pet friendly, there is a dedicated outdoor dog run.
The Charleston’s state of the art fitness center – access to which is offered free to all residents – is wired with cable TV on each treadmill, bike and elliptical. On the second floor, residents can use the Charleston Club – a perfect venue for an intimate gathering of friends or larger private event. It has a kitchen, living room and dining room. The living room is equipped with a flatscreen TV and Bose sound dock. Outside the club is the Zen garden, a tranquil landscaped oasis in the middle of Manhattan, furnished with tables, chairs, bar areas and two outdoor BBQ grills.
One of the Charleston’s greatest attributes is the staff. The live-in, Resident Manager runs the building flawlessly. The courteous staff knows almost everyone’s names. Attached to the lobby is a dry cleaning/laundry/cleaning service that exclusively caters to Charleston residents.
The Charleston contains 191 luxurious condominiums, ranging from generous, 560 square foot studios to 1712 square foot three bedroom apartments. Every condo is equipped with a washer/dryer, multi-zone central AC/Heat, double insulated windows, 9 foot ceilings, beautiful hardwood floors, Zuma soaking tub showers with stone finishes and premium fixtures and a large dedicated private storage unit in the building’s basement. Each unit also has an open chef’s kitchen with white crystalline marble countertops, a breakfast bar area, Macassar ebony and etched glass cabinets and top of the line stainless steel appliances (Fisher Paykel double drawer dishwasher and Sub-Zero refrigerators). Several units also have floor to ceiling windows, separate stand-alone shower and bath tubs, 11 foot ceilings, wine fridges, and private outdoor terraces.
Located within a few blocks are many restaurants, cafes, shops, bars, salons, parking garages, parks, gyms and public transportation hubs. Three supermarkets are minutes away, including a newly opened Fairway Supermarket located next to a Loew’s movie complex. Everything a single person, a couple or a family could need is within walking distance of this distinguished luxury condominium.
