100 E 101ST Street

Agent's Note

From Curtis Bain. Details about the apartment are drawn from the listing information provided through RLS by Brown Harris Stevens Residential Sales LLC.

A washer and dryer are in the unit, and there's a dishwasher, so the daily chores stay inside the house. The kitchen has been completely renovated, and ductless cooling runs through a split system. Those systems are already in place.

The house is about 2,500 square feet across three floors above a basement, built on a 16 by 100 foot lot. It sits on a corner, so it has exposures on three sides. Those three floors give the house real separation between rooms, but stairs are part of every day, and it's worth thinking about how you'd move through it.

Four bedrooms have Brazilian chestnut floors. The 11-foot ceilings give the main rooms volume and more ways to arrange furniture, though the layout matters more than the height alone. Exposed brick, wall moldings, a carved staircase and several decorative fireplaces are the prewar details the listing describes.

Outdoor space is rare in Manhattan. The private garden here adds about 650 exterior square feet, including a large backyard, and a private parking space is part of the listing.

Central Park is about 6 minutes on foot, and the 103 St station on the 6 is about 4 minutes away. Ideal Food Basket is about 4 minutes away, and the Museum of the City of New York is about 6 minutes.
