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 entry foyer, hardwood floors and wood-burning fireplace give this 1929 Art Deco co-op a prewar character that the 16-story building carries through to the apartment itself.
The living room is expansive, and the adjacent dining area gives the main rooms two distinct zones for everyday meals and guests. The kitchen is oversized and fitted with steel appliances, quartz-look counters, and white cabinets set against porcelain tile on the floor and backsplash, so it works as a room you can really cook in.
The king-size bedroom has two closets, one of them a walk-in, which adds up to a lot of storage for a single bedroom. I like that arrangement because clothes and bedding don't compete for the same shelf space. It's worth opening every closet when you see it. The bathroom has been renovated with a new sink, vanity, toilet, bathtub and modern tile finishes.
The apartment faces north over tree-lined East 19th Street. Around the June solstice, north-facing windows get about 4.2 hours of direct sun, roughly 5:49 to 7:53 AM and 6:03 to 8:07 PM, though nearby buildings can block it. New Friedrich remote-controlled A/C units serve the living room and bedroom.
The building has a 24-hour doorman and a live-in superintendent. You can also use the landscaped rooftop garden, the building's laundry room, and bike and common storage. Pets are allowed with board approval.
Stuyvesant Square is about 2 minutes away on foot, and the L at 3 Av is about 6 minutes. Union Square's 14 St station, served by the 4, 5, 6, L, N, Q, R and W, is about 10 minutes, and Eden Gourmet Marketplace is about 4 minutes for groceries.
