310 W 52ND St 17A

Central Park to the north. The Hudson Yards skyline to the west. This 17th-floor corner one-bedroom at The Link has three exposures and doesn't make you choose between them.

The living room wraps the corner in floor-to-ceiling glass, east and south light pouring in most of the day, open views out toward Hudson Yards. There's real room here, a full sitting area plus a separate dining area, not the one-couch-and-a-card-table math a lot of "spacious" one-beds run on.

The kitchen is Poggenpohl cabinetry and stone counters, outfitted with a Sub-Zero refrigerator, Bosch range, dishwasher, and microwave, all full-size. Nothing apartment-scale about it.

The corner primary bedroom fits a king bed with space to spare, Central Park views north, open city views east. The windowed bath has a double vanity, a Neptune Zen soaking tub with a separate shower, and spa-grade tile floor to ceiling.

Washer/dryer in unit. Remote-controlled shades throughout (solar in the living room, blackout in the bedroom). Two-zone climate control. Closets that actually hold your stuff. A storage cage is available for an additional monthly fee.

The building. The Link is a 44-story glass tower designed by Costas Kondylis, known for the glass-cube lobby entrance and the reflecting pool and bamboo groves just past the front door. Built in 2007, it holds 215 residences and runs full-service: 24-hour doorman and concierge, live-in resident manager, a double-height fitness center, a 3,200-square-foot landscaped terrace, bike storage, and package handling. Pet-friendly.

The location. Midtown West, where it meets Hell's Kitchen. Central Park, Columbus Circle, and Lincoln Center are all within easy walking distance, along with the Theater District and the best of Midtown's dining and nightlife. Nine subway lines within a few blocks (A, C, E, B, D, 1, N, Q, R), so getting anywhere from here is rarely the problem
