Agent's Note

From Curtis Bain. Details about the apartment are drawn from the listing information provided through RLS by Douglas Elliman Real Estate.

The bedrooms sit in their own wing, so the living room and the separate dining area beyond it stay apart from the sleeping quarters. The primary suite faces west and north and has four closets, plus a windowed bath in marble with a glass-enclosed shower and a vanity set apart from the rest of the room. The second bedroom fits a king bed and has beamed ceilings, and the third has three windows and a built-in desk.

The living room has three oversized west-facing windows, and the listing says they bring in strong afternoon sun. From the same room you can see the city, and part of the Hudson is visible too. It's worth seeing the room in late afternoon to judge the light for yourself.

Cooking here is well equipped. The range is a Bosch with six burners and a convection oven, and it sits under a hood that vents outside. The counters are quartz, and a Thermador refrigerator and dishwasher handle the rest. A wine refrigerator and a generous pantry round out the work area, and I like that the storage is part of the plan rather than an afterthought.

The den has its own bath and can work as a staff room, a guest room or a study, which gives the home more ways to be used than most three-bedroom layouts. Nine-foot ceilings and original detail run through the rooms, and the apartment has three windowed baths. A washer and dryer are in the residence.

Shared spaces are straightforward. A full-time doorman and a live-in resident manager staff the building, and there's an elevator. The landscaped roof deck, laundry room and bicycle storage are all part of the building. Pets are allowed. Central Park and Riverside Park are close by, and Zabar's and the 1 train are nearby as well.
