About This Property
Residence 12A is a gracious 4-bedroom, 4.5-bath home of 2,472 square feet, with 9'1" ceilings, north and south exposures, and floor-to-ceiling casement windows throughout. The expansive living and dining room, which offers a view toward the river, opens through French doors onto Juliet balconies, giving the entertaining space an indoor-outdoor feel that is rare at this scale.
At the heart of the home, the chef's kitchen showcases custom Italian solid white oak cabinetry with exposed dovetail joinery and under-cabinet lighting, Brazilian desert quartzite countertops, and a matching white oak island topped with a quartzite slab that seats four. A white marble backsplash sets off a premium appliance suite that includes a Sub-Zero refrigerator, wine fridge, and dishwasher; a Wolf speed oven and vented four-burner gas range with grill; and a deep sink with Insinkerator.
The south-facing primary suite is a true retreat, with open city views through floor-to-ceiling casement windows, two spacious closets, and a windowed office nook. Its five-fixture en-suite bath is finished in white Dolomiti marble and features radiant heated herringbone floors, a marble-surround soaking tub, a white oak vanity with dual Kohler sinks, Waterworks fixtures, a glass-enclosed marble shower, and a separate water closet with a Toto Neorest commode.
The south-facing second and third bedrooms look out over the city through floor-to-ceiling casement windows, and each is served by an en-suite Calacatta marble bath with mosaic floors, white oak vanities with stoneglass countertops, Hansgrohe fixtures, and wall-mounted Toto commodes. A fourth bedroom and den, adjacent to the living room, is equally well appointed with its own en-suite Calacatta marble bath.
The powder room reflects the same care found throughout the residence, with a floating white oak vanity and metal shelving, a hand-carved vessel sink, a Waterworks faucet, and a backlit white oak mirror. Wide-plank 7.5" European oak floors extend through every room, complemented by an energy-efficient, Nest-controlled heat pump HVAC system with linear diffusers. A dedicated laundry room with Asko washer and dryer completes this exceptional home.
Residents enjoy an exceptional suite of amenities, including an aquatic center with a 75-foot saltwater lap pool, spa pool, steam room, and sauna; a state-of-the-art fitness center with a dedicated Pilates studio and regulation squash court with basketball hoop; a landscaped rooftop terrace with outdoor cinema and dedicated dining and grilling areas; and a curated collection of social spaces including a private dining room with catering kitchen, club lounge, children's playroom, music room, and pet spa.
Located between Riverside Park and Central Park, 250 West 96th Street pairs a striking limestone facade and bronze casement windows with interiors by acclaimed designer Thomas Juul-Hansen. The contemporary design of the building prioritizes light, scale, and sweeping city views. Classic uptown majesty meets a downtown sense of style as you enter the lobby-a room completely encased in Venetian plaster to amplify the sun-kissed atmosphere with floor-to-ceiling windows on north and south-facing facades. The sculptural reception desk, carved from a single block of travertine, reflects the quality of artistry throughout the building and provides an aesthetic anchor for the exceptionally well designed residence.

Agent's Note
From Curtis Bain. Details about the apartment are drawn from the listing information provided through RLS by Corcoran Group.
A fourth bedroom and den sit beside the living room in this 2,472-square-foot apartment, so the sleeping rooms and the entertaining rooms each have a clear place in the plan. The primary suite and the second and third bedrooms all face south, and each has its own en-suite bath, which brings the apartment to five bathrooms in total.
The kitchen sits at the center of the home. It has custom white oak cabinetry, Brazilian desert quartzite countertops and a white oak island that seats four. A Sub-Zero refrigerator, a Wolf speed oven and a vented four-burner gas range with grill handle the cooking, and a dishwasher is included. I like an island that seats four because it does the work of a small dining table on ordinary weeknights.
The living and dining room has a river view and opens through French doors onto Juliet balconies. Those doors bring in air and make the room feel more open, but they aren't usable outdoor space. The floor-to-ceiling casement windows run through the home, and the ceilings are 9'1 high. With an open horizon, a south-facing window can get about 8.5 hours of direct sun around the winter solstice, from 7:41 AM to 4:07 PM, and about 6.1 hours at the summer solstice, from 9:55 AM to 4:01 PM. Nearby buildings can block that light.
The 96 St stop for the 1, 2 and 3 trains is about 1 minute on foot, and Riverside Park is about 5 minutes away. Key Food is about 2 minutes away for everyday shopping.
The building has an elevator, a bike room, a sauna, a steam room and a roof deck. An Asko washer and dryer sit in a dedicated laundry room in the home, so laundry stays on the premises.
