239 CENTRAL Park W 6C

Agent's Note

From Curtis Bain. Details about the apartment are drawn from the listing information provided through RLS by Coldwell Banker Warburg.

Daily life here starts with what is already in place. The apartment has a dishwasher and a stacked Frigidaire washer and dryer, and the kitchen is outfitted with Viking, Miele and Wolf appliances. Having laundry inside the unit means you aren't making trips to a shared room, and that's the kind of convenience you notice every week. The expanded eat-in kitchen has a large breakfast bar and custom cabinetry, so it works for a quick weekday meal as well as for cooking for guests.

The living and dining areas sit at the center of the plan. A large entry gallery opens into them, and the wall of windows and wood-burning fireplace give the main rooms a clear focal point. The custom walnut and marble bar is useful if you entertain often. The kitchen and living space are open to each other, so you'll share the room with whoever is cooking, though that's a fair trade for the connection it gives the two areas.

The primary bedroom has corner southern and western exposures, and the second and third bedrooms have southern and eastern interior exposures. A south-facing window can get about 8.5 hours of direct sun on the winter solstice with an open horizon, though nearby buildings can block some of it. Sun is best judged on a visit, since the surrounding buildings change what each window gets.

The primary bathroom has been recently renovated with Carrara marble, subway tile and Fantini fixtures. Storage is generous, with numerous closets, walk-in closets and a storage space in the building. Wall space for art is also part of the apartment, which matters in a home this size.

The building was built in 1926 and has an elevator, a 24-hour doorman, lobby attendants, a resident manager, a fitness center, central laundry and bicycle storage. Pets are allowed. Central Park is about 1 minute away on foot, and the 86 St station on the B and C lines is about 4 minutes on foot. The listing notes that 50% financing is permitted and the purchaser pays a 2% flip tax.
