Agent's Note
From Curtis Bain. Details about the apartment are drawn from the listing information provided through RLS by BARBIERO NANCY.
A terrace of over 60 square feet opens off the kitchen, so the outdoor space is part of the everyday layout rather than an extra. The listing says it overlooks mature plantings and the river, and it's a practical spot to grow herbs or sit outside with a coffee.
This is a 1925 pre-war building designed by Emery Roth, on a corner in the West End-Collegiate Historic District Extension. Pre-war layouts tend to suit buyers who value defined rooms, and this one has beamed ceilings over 9 feet. The living, dining and kitchen area is open-plan, which gives you less separation between cooking and relaxing, so I'd picture how that works for your own routine before deciding.
The kitchen was nearly doubled in size and has a breakfast bar, Arabescato marble countertops, a 36-inch Bertazzoni stove and hood, Summit appliances, a GE microwave and a dishwasher. There's also a 57-bottle Kalamera wine fridge.
Three large closets, two storage lockers and built-in bookshelves with outlets for speakers mean less needs to sit on the floor. Each bedroom has its own wing. The primary has north and west views, a soaking tub, a rain shower and an en-suite windowed office.
The apartment faces north and west. On the June solstice a west window gets direct sun from about 1:11 PM to 8:07 PM, roughly 7 hours, on an open horizon, and nearby buildings can block some of it.
Riverside Park is about 2 minutes away on foot, and the 72 St station, with the 1, 2 and 3 trains, is about 4 minutes. Trader Joe's is about 4 minutes too.
Does the apartment have private outdoor space?
Yes. There's a terrace of over 60 square feet off the kitchen, along with a balcony.
Is there in-unit laundry?
A washer/dryer is allowed in the apartment, and the building has laundry on site.
Does the building have an elevator?
Yes. The building has an elevator and 16 stories.
