Agent's Note
From Curtis Bain. Details about the apartment are drawn from the listing information provided through RLS by Corcoran Group.
Apartment 1E is in a pre-war building on West 87th Street, and its two bedrooms and two bathrooms across about 1,000 square feet make the rooms feel defined, which is one of the things pre-war layouts do well. The listing describes a thoughtful renovation that keeps the older character intact, and dark hardwood floors run through the home.
The living room opens directly to a staircase that leads up to your own private landscaped garden, so the outdoor space works as an extension of the living room rather than a separate trip outside. A private garden is a meaningful amenity in Manhattan, and having it reached from the main room changes how often you'll actually use it for morning coffee or dinner outside.
The kitchen is a chef's kitchen with stainless steel appliances, Caesarstone countertops and a glass mosaic backsplash. A dishwasher is included, and the home has a dining area. A washer/dryer is permitted in the unit.
This is a 40-residence co-op with a doorman, an elevator, laundry in the building, a bike room and a roof deck. Pets are allowed, subject to board approval.
Central Park is about 7 minutes away on foot and Riverside Park about 10. The 86 St station for the 1 train is about 4 minutes on foot, and the B and C trains at 86 St are about 7 minutes away. Key Food is about 3 minutes away.
