215 E 96TH Street 30A

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.

The in-unit washer and dryer and the dishwasher handle a lot of daily routine inside the apartment. In New York, where laundry often becomes a separate errand, having the machines at home is a real everyday convenience. Through-the-wall heating and air conditioning, walk-in closets and hardwood parquet throughout round out the practical side of the home.

The pass-through kitchen has stainless steel appliances and plenty of counter and cabinet space. It keeps the cook connected to the living and dining room, which suits a home that gets used for entertaining. The listing describes that living and dining room as generous, and the ceilings are over 10 feet, the tallest in the building. That height gives the rooms volume and makes furniture placement easier.

Both bedrooms are oversized, with large closets and en-suite bathrooms. The second bedroom isn't a bedroom right now, since it's currently set up as a library, so you can see how it would work as a quiet reading room or be changed back. The listing describes open views from every window, with park, river and skyline views.

The 96th Street stop on the Q is about 2 minutes away on foot, and the 6 at the same street is about 4 minutes. Marx Brothers Playground is about 3 minutes away, and the East River Esplanade is about 8.

The building has a concierge, an elevator, an indoor pool, a sauna, a courtyard, a roof deck, a bike room and cold storage. Pets are allowed. The roof deck offers views of the downtown skyline and Central Park.
