Agent's Note
From Curtis Bain. Details about the apartment are drawn from the listing information provided through RLS by Corcoran Group.
A walnut-clad elevator reaches every level of this 20-foot-wide house, and that does a lot of the daily work. There's also a washer and dryer in the unit and a dishwasher in the kitchen. Across 7,110 square feet with six bedrooms and 8 bathrooms, the house is set up so that moving between floors and getting through the everyday routine doesn't depend on anything you'd still have to add.
The house was rebuilt after being deconstructed down to its original brownstone facade, and it's a landmarked home, so the street face stays as it was while the interior is new. The listing says the infrastructure was built to the standard of a European Passive House, which is worth checking in person against the specifics.
The walnut kitchen has Miele and Pitt appliances, and the ground floor adds a banquette and a sunken lounge with an atrium and a gas fireplace. The Bamboo Garden has an outdoor grill, so that space works for cooking as well as sitting out.
Outdoor space is one of the strongest parts of the house. There's a private garden, a terrace, a balcony and more than 60 square feet of private outdoor space, and the garden faces south. With an open horizon, a south-facing garden can get direct sun for about 8.5 hours on the winter solstice, from 7:41 AM to 4:07 PM, and about 10 hours at the equinoxes. Nearby buildings can block it.
Trader Joe's is about 2 minutes away, the 72 St station on the 1, 2 and 3 lines is about 3 minutes on foot, and Riverside Park is about 4 minutes away. The 66 St-Lincoln Center station is about 10 minutes on foot.
