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.
A 26-foot living room that can be divided into a second bedroom gives this 714-square-foot one bedroom on East 40th Street its range. Half the room can become a sleeping space while the other half stays a corner-windowed living area.
Twelve double corner windows bring in morning light from the northeast, midday light from the south and western light toward sunset. Corner units often get more varied light than a single-exposure room, though how much you get depends on what's built around it.
Light is the first thing you'll notice in the living room.
The kitchen has new stainless steel appliances and custom lighting, and the breakfast bar sits next to the formal dining area. A sitting and entertainment area fills the other end of the living room, so it works for quiet evenings and for guests.
The bedroom is large enough for any size bed, and a long closet runs along one wall. Its wall of windows brings in east river views and morning sun, which makes the corner by the windows a natural spot for a home office.
The bathroom has a newly updated shower stall with doors. The foyer is long and has a large coat and linen closet, and the hardwood floors are new throughout.
The building has a concierge, an elevator, an indoor pool, a sauna and a game room, and pets are allowed. The listing also describes a full-time doorman and a health club for residents, and it places the building nearly around the corner from Grand Central.
