Agent's Note

From Curtis Bain. Details about the apartment are drawn from the listing information provided through RLS by Douglas Elliman Real Estate.

At 177 East 77th Street, a full-time doorman and a live-in superintendent staff an Art Deco condominium with a landscaped courtyard garden, bike storage and private storage. Those shared spaces are the part of the building you'll use every day.

Residence 5B is a 952-square-foot one bedroom with one bath. The living room and the oversized primary bedroom both have curved bay windows, and the apartment faces south, so the light comes in for much of the day. On a winter day, a south-facing window can get direct sun for about 8.5 hours, from 7:41 AM to 4:07 PM. Around the June solstice that drops to about 6.1 hours, from 9:55 AM to 4:01 PM. Nearby buildings can block some of that, so treat these as open-horizon figures.

The private terrace, over 60 square feet, extends from the living room. It's visible from the bedroom and the kitchen, which makes it more than a spot to step out to. Outdoor space off the main room tends to change how an apartment gets used, especially for dining. Here, the terrace is a natural place for morning coffee or a meal outside.

The apartment can accommodate an in-unit washer and dryer with condominium approval. The building also has central laundry facilities. In-unit laundry is a real everyday convenience in New York, so it's worth knowing that the option is there.

Getting around is easy from here. The 77 St stop on the 6 is about 2 minutes on foot, and the Q's 72 St stop is about 8 minutes away. Central Park is about 10 minutes on foot. For daily errands, Gristedes is about 1 minute away, Harbs and Lenwich are each about 1 minute, and D'Agostino is about 3 minutes. Pets are allowed.
