Agent's Note
From Curtis Bain. Details about the apartment are drawn from the listing information provided through RLS by Douglas Elliman Real Estate.
A private 12-foot balcony comes with this one bedroom on the corner of Madison Avenue and East 68th Street, and it's the outdoor space I'd check first. The apartment has exposures to the east and west, and also to the south, so light changes through the day instead of coming from one side. On the winter solstice, a south-facing window can get about 8.5 hours of direct sun, though nearby buildings can block it. The listing describes city, park, downtown, skyline and panoramic views.
The den can be converted into a second bedroom, which matters if you need a guest room or a home office. The kitchen is granite and the bathroom is marble. Oak floors, crown moldings, mahogany doors and Waterford ceiling fixtures run through the rest of the home. Storage includes two oversized walk-in closets, plus four more closets and supplementary storage.
The building has a 24-hour doorman, a live-in superintendent, an elevator, a bike room and laundry in the building. Dogs are allowed. Central Park is about 2 minutes away on foot, and the 68 St-Hunter College station on the 6 train is about 6 minutes.
Whole Foods Market is about 8 minutes on foot, and the Frick Collection is about 4 minutes, which puts the Upper East Side's museums and shops within easy reach of the door.
