180 E 88th Street 10

Agent's Note

From Curtis Bain. Details about the apartment are drawn from the listing information provided through RLS by PROMINENT PROPERTIES SOTHEBYS INTERNATIONAL REALTY.

Custom plaster cove ceilings, wainscoting and a herringbone entry gallery give Unit 10 at 180 East 88th Street its character, and the 5-inch Austrian white oak floors carry that refinement through the rooms.

The open-plan great room opens into a kitchen by Molteni & C, the Dada line, finished in white lacquer with marble counters. Its Gaggenau appliances and Fantini brass fixtures are set into it, and since the cooking area sits inside the same space as the dining area and living room, you stay connected to everyone while you cook.

This is a corner unit with north, south and east exposures and a private terrace, so its light comes from more than one direction. The primary suite faces south. A south window gets direct sun for about 8.5 hours in winter, from 7:41 AM to 4:07 PM, and about 10 hours at the equinoxes, roughly 8:04 AM to 6:02 PM in March and 7:50 AM to 5:47 PM in September. Those times assume an open horizon, and nearby buildings can block some of that sun.

The primary suite pairs a custom Boffi dressing room and closet with a windowed spa bath clad in silver travertine and honed Bianco Grigio marble. It has radiant heated floors, a rain shower, Duravit sinks and Fantini brass fixtures.

A washer and dryer are in the unit, which is a convenience you feel every week. The building has an elevator, storage space and a bike room, central air runs through the home, and pets are allowed.

The building's amenities include a fitness and yoga studio, a double-height basketball court, a soccer pitch, a children's playroom, a residents' lounge and a game room. Central Park is about 10 minutes away on foot, the Guggenheim about 9 minutes, and the 86 St station about 3 minutes for the 4, 5 and 6 trains.
