Agent's Note

From Curtis Bain. Details about the apartment are drawn from the listing information provided through RLS by Nest Seekers LLC.

The building at 215-217 East 96th Street has an elevator, a courtyard, storage space and a roof deck, and pets are allowed. This apartment sits on the 42nd floor, so those shared spaces are part of the setup for any resident.

This three-bedroom, three-bath home was renovated in 2016 and has floor-to-ceiling windows with a city view. The east-facing windows have motorized shades, and those matter because morning light arrives early. In June, direct sun reaches the east windows from about 5:49 AM to 12:44 PM, though nearby buildings can block it.

The kitchen has white quartz counters and a counter about 10 feet long that fits four large stools, so it handles a quick breakfast as well as a gathering. The custom cabinetry includes over 10 feet of under-counter storage, and a dedicated beverage fridge keeps drinks off the main refrigerator shelves. A Miele dishwasher and a gas range complete the work area, and a dishwasher is the kind of daily convenience you notice most on busy weeknights.

The primary bedroom has an ensuite bath with a full-size deep tub, a fully tiled shower with a rain head, and heated white tiled floors. Two walk-in closets with built-ins hold four seasons of clothing, and a third closet handles luggage or seasonal outerwear. There's room in the bedroom for a king bed, and the second bath is reached from the common space.

A washer and dryer in the unit mean everyday laundry stays at home. The Q at 96 St is about 2 minutes on foot and the 6 at 96 St is about 4 minutes. Marx Brothers Playground is about 2 minutes away, and the East River Esplanade is about 7 minutes. Food Universe Marketplace and Key Food are each about 5 minutes away.
