Agent's Note
From Curtis Bain. Details about the apartment are drawn from the listing information provided through RLS by Settled New York.
A legal two-bedroom conversion is listed as possible in this 800-square-foot one bedroom at 1601 Third Avenue in Yorkville, and that option matters in a layout of this size. The living space can take several arrangements, and a separate dining area gives you a defined place to eat.
Oversized windows look out over the skyline to the south and west from a high floor. A south-facing window gets about 8.5 hours of direct sun around the winter solstice and about 10 hours at the equinoxes, while a west-facing window gets about 3.6 hours in winter and about 7 hours at the summer solstice. Nearby buildings can block that light, so it's worth seeing the apartment in the late afternoon if the west light matters to you.
The kitchen is brand new, with full-sized stainless steel appliances.
A dishwasher and a generous amount of cabinets and counters round out the kitchen. The bathroom, also renovated before sale, has a full-sized tub and plenty of medicine cabinet and vanity storage, which helps keep daily items off the counter.
A wall of floor-to-ceiling closets lines the primary bedroom, and the room has space for a king bed with more furniture around it. Additional closets sit near the front door and in the hall, so storage runs through the rest of the apartment instead of stopping at the bedroom.
The building has a concierge, an elevator, laundry in the building, and garage and valet parking, and cats are allowed. The indoor pool, health club, children's playroom, courtyard and roof deck are part of the building. Subway access is close, with the 86 St station serving the 4, 5 and 6 about 6 minutes on foot and the Q about 7 minutes away, and Marx Brothers Playground is about 8 minutes on foot.
