Agent's Note
From Curtis Bain. Details about the apartment are drawn from the listing information provided through RLS by Compass.
All four bedrooms are set apart from the living room and dining area, so guests can gather in the south-facing main rooms without the bedrooms being in the way. There are four full bathrooms spread across that layout, which matters if you host often.
The living room and dining area face south, so they get direct sun for a long stretch of the day. On an open horizon, that direction gets about 8.5 hours of direct sun in winter and about 10 hours in spring and fall. Nearby buildings can block some of it.
The primary suite has a dedicated desk area, an oversized closet, a bathroom with dual sinks, and a separate laundry room. I like having laundry inside the suite, because it keeps that task out of the common rooms. There's also a huge pantry closet that adds storage to the kitchen side.
Through-wall air conditioning is part of the apartment.
The building has a bike room, an elevator, laundry, a garden, and a roof deck with flower and herb gardens. The listing also describes a 24-hour doorman and a live-in superintendent, and maintenance includes gas, heat and electricity. The 79 St station on the 1 train is about 5 minutes away on foot, and Theodore Roosevelt Park is about 2 minutes away.
Does the apartment have a separate laundry room?
Yes. A separate laundry room is part of the primary suite. Washers and dryers are allowed in the home.
Are pets allowed?
Yes. The building allows cats and dogs.
Does the building have an elevator?
Yes. The building has an elevator.
