This third-floor unit is ideally suited for one or two subtenants. It is rear facing which means it's pin-drop quiet. It opens up to a wide foyer that leads to a living room large enough to include a home office or dining area. The kitchen features plenty of counter and storage space, stainless steel appliances, a farm sink and a five-burner stove with griddle. The bedroom is 160+ SF, large enough for a queen-size bed and a place to lay out your yoga mat. The bathroom has a walk-in shower and lots of storage too. Also, of note are a spacious bedroom closet, remote-controlled ceiling fans and thru-wall AC units hidden behind custom-crafted radiator covers.

The apartment is completely furnished and includes linens and towels and kitchen equipment. There is a queen-size sleep couch for occasional house guests.

About This Lister

I have lived at 1270 in an apartment across the hall from Apartment 3J for 28 years. I am managing this sublet on behalf of my daughter and her husband who owned it for two years and then fled for the suburbs with their toddler. They sublet it last year and then put it on the market (listed in the Listing Project) but decided to pivot and wait out a year to see if the market conditions might improve. Of course, if a subtenant is interested in purchasing the apartment, this would be a great way to test-drive life at 1270 Fifth and in the City.

I am along-time financial writer presently working a memoir about my junior year of high school in a British co-ed boarding school. Everyone who stops by to check out the apartment will receive a free copy of my first memoir -- "The Bucknoll Cottage Chronicles."
