About This Property

Meticulously designed three bedroom, three bathroom home with stunning views from every window, as far as the eye can see.

The living area, perfect for hosting, has a built-in media console with custom lighting and storage, and a built-in electric fireplace.

Surrounded with large picture-style windows, the renovated chef's kitchen is extremely bright, and was thoughtfully opened to allow a seamless flow into the living and dining area. Brand new stainless steel appliances include a Sub-Zero double-door refrigerator, a full-size Miele dishwasher, a 4-burner wolf range with Zephyr hood, and also a Wolf microwave oven and 24-bottle wine refrigerator. In addition to a breakfast ar, there is custom built-in seating, ample counter space, and all of the cabinetry is on soft-close hinges.

The separate laundry room, also doubling as a storage closet, comes with a brand new WiFi-enabled Bosch stackable washer/ dryer. All of the closets, including the 4 walk-ins, throughout the home are outfitted to maximize storage space, and all three bathrooms were tastefully updated.

All three bedrooms are spacious, especially the primary bedroom with generous closets and again spectacular views. Many enjoy the privacy that the layout offers, separating the other two bedrooms from the primary bedroom quarters.

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 courtyard and the roof deck are the outdoor spaces at 215 E 96th Street, and both are shared by the building. The roof deck is a top-floor sun terrace with views toward Central Park. The courtyard has three cabanas with barbecues, so it's easy to host outside, and the terrace gives you a view to match.

Unit 41H is a three-bedroom, three-bath home of 1,704 square feet. The open-concept living and dining area runs over 30 feet long, so the rooms feel connected, though cooking, working and relaxing share the same space. A built-in media console with custom lighting and storage sits in the living area, along with a built-in electric fireplace.

The kitchen was renovated and it's bright, with large picture-style windows. The new appliances include a Sub-Zero double-door refrigerator, a 4-burner Wolf range with a Zephyr hood, a Wolf microwave oven, a full-size Miele dishwasher and a 24-bottle wine refrigerator. A breakfast bar and custom built-in seating sit near cabinetry on soft-close hinges.

The primary bedroom has generous closets and city, river and skyline views. Its position separates it from the other two bedrooms, which is a layout you'll notice day to day.

The building has a concierge, an elevator, a bike room, cold storage, an indoor pool and a sauna, and pets are allowed. The 96 St station on the Q is about 2 minutes on foot and the 6 at 96 St is about 4 minutes, so the train is close.
