Agent's Note
From Curtis Bain. Details about the apartment are drawn from the listing information provided through RLS by Compass.
A stove and refrigerator are already in the kitchenette, which opens straight into the living room, and the building has a laundry room on site. The counter is set up for two stools, so breakfast and quick meals can happen in the main room without a separate dining setup.
The living room has two sets of south-facing windows, plenty of wall space for art and furniture, and a dedicated home office area, which suits working from home. The primary bedroom also faces south and has custom built-in bookshelves and radiator covers that frame the windows. On the listed exposure, a south-facing window gets about 8.5 hours of direct sun in winter, from 7:41 AM to 4:07 PM, and about 10 hours in spring and fall. In summer it gets about 6.1 hours, from 9:55 AM to 4:01 PM. These times assume an open horizon, and nearby buildings can block some or all of that sun.
The bathroom has been renovated with marble and onyx, a pedestal sink, a soaking tub with European fixtures, premium hardware and custom storage cabinetry. Walk-in closets and built-ins take care of much of the storage, which keeps more of the floor open for furniture.
The building is a 1920s limestone cooperative with an elevator, a roof deck, a laundry room and a 24-hour doorman with a live-in resident manager. Pets are welcome, and cats and dogs are both allowed. Hardwood floors, crown molding, a chandelier and beamed ceilings give the rooms the detail you'd expect from a prewar apartment.
The 77 St station on the 6 is about 7 minutes on foot, and Central Park is about 2 minutes away. D'Agostino is about 6 minutes on foot if you want groceries close by.
