About This Home

Situated on a prime, tree-lined block in the heart of Murray Hill, 118 East 37th Street is a 20-foot-wide Manhattan townhouse offering exceptional scale, flexibility, and long-term potential. Select upper floors enjoy striking views of the iconic Chrysler Building, creating a quintessential New York backdrop for this classic multi-family property. The building is currently configured as five residential units and presents a compelling opportunity for investors or end-users seeking income with future upside. The garden through second floors are arranged as a spacious owner’s triplex. The garden level has been used as an office and opens directly to a south-facing garden, creating an ideal live/work environment. The parlor floor contains kitchen and living areas, while the second floor provides bedroom space and access to a private terrace overlooking the garden. Also located at the front of the second floor is a separate studio apartment, creating an additional residential unit within the building and offering flexible income potential. Above, the third and fourth floors each feature floor-through two-bedroom apartments, providing two additional full-floor residences with excellent natural light and views toward the Chrysler Building. These apartments offer efficient layouts with clear separation between living and bedroom areas and remain highly desirable in the Murray Hill rental market. In total, the property is configured as five units: a garden-through-second-floor triplex residence, a studio apartment on the front of the second floor, and two full-floor two-bedroom apartments on the third and fourth floors. At 20 feet wide, the townhouse benefits from generous interior volume rarely found in similar buildings. The existing configuration allows for continued use as an income-producing property while also offering the opportunity to reimagine the building as a larger owner’s residence with rental units or potentially reconfigure it to suit a variety of residential or investment strategies. Situated in the center of Murray Hill, the property enjoys close proximity to Grand Central Terminal, Midtown offices, and some of Manhattan’s most vibrant dining and neighborhood amenities. Known for its historic brownstones, convenient transportation, and central location, Murray Hill continues to attract residents seeking the charm of townhouse living within easy reach of Midtown and the East River waterfront.
