176 Broadway 15E

Agent's Note

From Curtis Bain. Details about the apartment are drawn from the listing information provided through RLS by Compass.

Central air and central heating, hardwood floors and a private outdoor space of over 60 square feet are already in place at 176 Broadway, 15E, a 2,016-square-foot three-bedroom, two-bath duplex. The main level is a great room with four large windows, room for living and dining, and an open kitchen, so the cook and the guests share one room. That open plan joins the rooms together, though it gives less separation between cooking, working and relaxing.

The primary bedroom fits a king bed and has an en-suite bathroom and custom closets. The lofted second bedroom has high ceilings and oversized windows, and the third bedroom has room for a king bed, a sofa and a dresser, plus a walk-in closet. Custom built-ins add storage, which helps keep floor space clear for furniture. Defined rooms like these suit many pre-war buyers, and layout matters more than age alone.

The building dates from 1927 and has 14 stories and 76 units.

Fulton Street station is about one minute on foot, with the 2, 3, 4, 5, A, C, J and Z trains, and City Hall Park is about four minutes away. Eataly is about three minutes on foot for groceries, and Whole Foods Market is about six minutes away. An elevator and laundry in the building make carrying things home easier.

The building has an elevator, a bike room, a storage space, a roof deck and laundry, and cats and dogs are allowed. As a co-op, the purchase goes through board review, so it's worth asking early about the financial requirements and what the board expects.
