enowned interior designer Robert Passal is listing his stylish Murray Hill home for $1.65 million, marking a fresh start after many years of living and working in the space. The two-bedroom, one-bathroom pre-war residence at 264 Lexington Ave is move-in ready, boasting natural light, architectural moldings, and a unique layout that's perfect for entertaining.

    Passal, who has worked with high-profile clients like Alexander Rodriguez, has infused his home with personal touches throughout its six floors. "I've thoroughly enjoyed living in my home, but it's time for a new chapter," he said. The designer has also left his mark on the building itself, designing the lobby, roof deck, and several common areas.

    As you step inside, you're greeted by a warm woodburning fireplace, colorful accents, and plenty of texture and attention to detail. The sunlit aerie features a foyer with hand-lacquered walls, a large living room, and a windowed chef's kitchen with custom cabinetry and countertops.

    The main bedroom boasts upholstered walls, custom millwork, built-in closets, and window treatments, while the second bedroom serves as a "flex" space with a clever table that can be used for dinner parties or as a desk. A spa-like bath with high-end finishes and a glass shower rounds out the amenities.

    The 11-story building, dating back to 1923, features 33 units, a common rooftop deck with stunning views of the Chrysler Building and Empire State Building, and a range of convenient services including storage and laundry in the basement. Listing broker Emily Beare notes that Passal is open to working with the buyer to create a similar space, making this move-in-ready home an attractive opportunity for those seeking a stylish and functional living space.
