Agent's Note
From Curtis Bain. Details about the apartment are drawn from the listing information provided through RLS by Corcoran Group.
Unit 9C is a corner residence of 1,831 square feet with three bedrooms and four bathrooms, and the building at 196 Orchard Street adds an elevator, a bike room, a spa and a roof deck. The living and dining room has oversized bronze-framed casement windows facing north and east, so daylight comes in from two directions. The ceilings are 10-foot concrete, and wide-plank white oak runs through the floors, which gives the rooms a warmer feel than the raw ceilings might suggest.
Because the windows face north and east, the sun is worth knowing about. On the winter solstice an east-facing window gets about 3.6 hours of direct sun, and on the summer solstice about 6.9 hours. A north-facing window gets about 4.2 hours of direct sun in June. Nearby buildings can block some of that.
The kitchen is open to the dining room and has a center island with a breakfast bar, Nero Marquina marble counters, and Miele appliances, including a vented range and a 36-inch refrigerator/freezer with an icemaker. A dishwasher is included. Cooking here means less separation from the living space, but for dinners with guests that's usually an advantage. The washer and dryer sit in the laundry pantry off the entry gallery, so you won't need to leave the apartment to do laundry.
The primary suite faces north and has park and skyline views. It has three closets, one of them a walk-in, and a bath with a double vanity, white quartz counters, a glass-enclosed walk-in shower and a separate soaking tub. The second bedroom faces east and is set up as a den. The third bedroom has a study area in its entry way and an ensuite marble bath.
The 2 Av stop on the F is about 3 minutes on foot, and Delancey St-Essex St, served by the F, J, M and Z, is about 7 minutes away. Sara D. Roosevelt Park is about 4 minutes away, and Union Market is about 3 minutes for groceries. Pets are allowed in the building.
