243 W 98TH Street 2C

Agent's Note

From Curtis Bain. Details about the apartment are drawn from the listing information provided through RLS by Corcoran Group.

A live-in superintendent, a video intercom and a bike room are already part of the building, so the everyday basics are in place before any work starts. The apartment has 1,542 square feet, three bedrooms, two bathrooms and a separate home office, along with a large pantry and plenty of closet space.

This is a renovation opportunity rather than a finished home. The listing describes the windowed eat-in kitchen as ready to be reimagined, and the original prewar details and high ceilings give you a starting point for a custom layout. The living and dining rooms face east over Broadway. For an east-facing window, the sun facts show direct sun from about 7:20 AM to 12:36 PM in spring and from 5:49 AM to 12:44 PM at the June solstice, though nearby buildings can block it.

The listing places the three bedrooms in an interior wing, away from the living and dining rooms, and the separate home office gives you a room for work without using a bedroom.

Riverside Park is about 4 minutes on foot, and the 96th Street station for the 1, 2 and 3 trains is about 4 minutes away. Westside Market and The Health Nuts are each about 1 minute away for groceries, so the pantry doesn't have to hold much at once.
