2 Water Street 16C

Agent's Note

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

The kitchen is open to the living room and built around an island, so cooking and company share one room. That makes the apartment feel connected, and the island gives you a place to prep or sit. The cost is less separation between cooking, relaxing and working, though the den gives you a room with a door when you need one.

The appliances are Sub-Zero, Miele and Viking, with a dishwasher and microwave alongside them, and the counters are Italian marble. The dark ebony finishes give the kitchen and the rest of the apartment a consistent look, and the oak strip flooring runs underfoot throughout.

Ceilings run 12 feet, which gives the living room volume and room for larger furniture. The sculpted coffers were built for sound proofing, a detail that matters if you spend a lot of time at home.

Two bedrooms, a den and three bathrooms give the layout room to separate sleeping, guests and work. Custom walk-in closets help keep clutter off the floor, and the building also has storage space.

It's a corner unit on the 16th floor, with oversized wrap-around windows and views of the city and the river. A corner position can add exposure and a more varied outlook, so you'll want to see the light at different times of day.

A washer and dryer in the unit mean laundry happens on your schedule. The building also has a laundry room.

The lobby has a 24/7 doorman and there's a concierge. Shared amenities include an elevator, a health club, an indoor pool, a children's playroom and a roof deck of about 5,000 square feet with cabanas and panoramic views.

Whitehall St-South Ferry is about 1 minute on foot with the 1, R and W trains, and Bowling Green is about 4 minutes away with the 4 and 5. The Battery is about 1 minute away, and Whole Foods Market is about 8 minutes on foot.
