2 5TH Avenue 16O

Agent's Note

From Curtis Bain. Details about the apartment are drawn from the listing information provided through RLS by Brown Harris Stevens Residential Sales LLC.

Nine and a half foot ceilings give the living and dining area its loft-like volume, and that's the feature to start with in this 1,400-square-foot two bedroom, two bath. Walls of windows face east and north, so the main room gets light from two directions and you'll notice that through the day.

The private setback terrace sits alongside those ceilings in what the apartment offers. It faces uptown and south, and the listing places Washington Square Park behind it, about one minute away on foot. The plantings run on an automated irrigation system, and at more than 60 square feet, the terrace is big enough to change how the apartment gets used.

The kitchen is an expanded, open chef's kitchen with custom cabinets, top-of-the-line appliances and a hidden glass bar. An open layout with a bar tends to keep the cook in the conversation, though the living room will see the cooking.

The primary bedroom has double exposures, an en suite windowed bath with double sinks, radiant floors, a towel bar warmer and two oversized walk-in closets. The second bedroom has a custom Murphy bed, so it works as an office by day and a bedroom at night, and it has its own walk-in closet. Sonos surround sound and two-zone central air are in the apartment, and a Miele washer and dryer are in the unit.

The building has an elevator, a concierge, on-site management, a gym, a playroom, a game room, a resident lounge, garage parking, cold storage, a bike room and storage space, and pets are allowed. W 4 St-Wash Sq, served by the A, B, C, D, E, F and M, is about five minutes on foot. The listing notes a 2% flip tax, which is worth raising with your attorney early.
