Agent's Note
From Curtis Bain. Details about the apartment are drawn from the listing information provided through RLS by R New York.
A foyer opens into the living and dining area, and the second bedroom sits just off the kitchen behind white pocket doors. Closed, the doors give that room privacy. Open, they join it to the kitchen, which is why it works as a guest room or a home office.
The living and dining area has oversized east-facing windows, and the second bedroom's east-facing window also lights the kitchen. The kitchen is renovated, with contemporary finishes and a layout built for everyday cooking.
Custom white built-in cabinetry adds concealed storage, and the kitchen has abundant cabinetry of its own. A long hallway runs past the kitchen to the primary bedroom and bathroom, and it's lined with three oversized closet sections. I like that the storage sits in the hall instead of in freestanding furniture, which leaves the rooms free for living in.
The primary bedroom fits a king-sized bed with room for additional furnishings, and it has two generous closets. The bathroom has built-in cabinetry along one wall.
This is a co-op with an elevator, a 24-hour doorman, a live-in resident manager, a fitness center, a laundry room, bike storage and adjacent parking. Pets are allowed, and the listing notes that guarantors and subletting are allowed too.
