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.
This corner two-bedroom at 205 East 68th Street is in a building the listing calls The Townhouse, a smaller condominium with a live-in superintendent and a full-time doorman, and the apartment has new hardwood floors and high ceilings.
The apartment has exposures to the east, south and west, so it gets light across much of the day. On an open horizon, the south-facing windows get about 8.5 hours of direct sun at the winter solstice and about 10 hours at the spring equinox, though nearby buildings can block some of it.
In the kitchen, the windows and the opening onto the living space make it easy to cook while you're hosting, and the listing describes the appliances as top-of-the-line. A dishwasher and a washer/dryer in the apartment keep the daily chores at home.
The primary bedroom has two walk-in closets, and a foyer with a wall of closets sits at the entrance, so storage is spread through the apartment rather than gathered in one room.
Whole Foods is about 1 minute away on foot, Ouri's about 2 minutes, and the 6 train at 68 St-Hunter College about 4 minutes, with Central Park about 11 minutes. The building has an elevator and a courtyard, and pets are allowed.
