A rare one-bedroom rental in Kips Bay that actually checks the boxes: light, quiet, and low monthlies.

Bright and south-facing, this fourth-floor residence combines classic prewar character with thoughtful updates in a well-positioned walk-up. The living room gets great natural light throughout the day, with hardwood floors and ceiling heights that give the space an open, airy feel. The kitchen has been updated with clean, modern finishes and stainless steel appliances, including a dishwasher.

The bedroom is positioned at the back of the apartment, overlooking a courtyard and neighboring carriage house - keeping it notably quiet and removed from street noise. The bathroom has been refreshed and the apartment is move-in ready. Wall sleeves in both the bedroom and living room make A/C installation easy.

A new Butterfly intercom system has recently been installed.Set on a tree-lined block in Kips Bay, you're close to multiple subway lines, restaurants, and everyday conveniences - while still enjoying a quieter, residential feel.
