20 W 64TH Street 42L

Agent's Note

From Curtis Bain. Details about the apartment are drawn from the listing information provided through RLS by Anita Loewy Inc.

Cold storage, a bike room and laundry in the building are already in place, so much of the everyday setup is handled before you move in. The building also has a concierge, an elevator, an indoor pool with a sauna and steam rooms, a courtyard and a roof deck.

Oversized Panorama windows give the living space its main character. The listing describes river, park, city, skyline and bridge views, and I'd spend time at those windows during a showing, since that's where this apartment is strongest.

The kitchen and bathrooms were renovated with upscale European fixtures, and the cabinetry is custom. Six large closets, one of them a walk-in, mean storage doesn't have to be solved with furniture. A dining area is included, so dinner for guests doesn't have to happen at the counter.

The description says the junior four can convert to a two bedroom with two full baths, which is worth confirming against the floor plan before you plan around it. A condominium has its own ownership and resale framework, so the building's rules and expenses are worth reviewing before you decide. Pets are allowed.

Central Park and the 66 St-Lincoln Center station on the 1 train are each about 3 minutes on foot, so the park and Lincoln Center fit easily into an ordinary week. Café Fiorello is about 1 minute away, and Whole Foods Market is about 6 minutes on foot.
