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.
New stainless steel appliances and a dishwasher are already in the windowed kitchen of this 1,040-square-foot apartment, and the kitchen has plenty of storage. The living room has oversized corner windows that bring in natural light, and the apartment faces north and west, so the main room looks out over the city and the skyline.
The two bedrooms sit in a split layout that keeps them separated from one another. The primary suite fits a king-size bed and has an en suite bathroom, so it feels like a retreat you can close off from the rest of the home.
A separate balcony door opens onto private outdoor space of under 60 square feet, and the listing also includes a terrace. Because the apartment faces west, a west-facing window can get direct sun from about 1:11 PM to 8:07 PM on the June solstice and from about 12:34 PM to 4:07 PM on the December solstice. Nearby buildings can block that light.
The building has an elevator, storage space, laundry in the building, central air and a roof deck, and pets are allowed. If you're heading downtown or uptown, the 51 St station for the 6, E and F trains is about 7 minutes on foot, and Grand Central-42 St is about 8 minutes. Amish Market East is about 2 minutes away, and Morton Williams is about 3 minutes.
