Agent's Note

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

Built in 1908, 252 7th Avenue is a 19-story condominium, and this 2,525-square-foot duplex penthouse spreads across two floors. The entry hall opens to the living and dining space and the kitchen, and the primary and guest bedrooms are on the first floor too.

A library off the living room is a flexible room, with uses ranging from a quiet office to a guest room or a fourth bedroom. There's also a wood-burning fireplace. In the kitchen, custom cabinetry sits alongside a Viking refrigerator, a Miele dishwasher, and a Dacor range and microwave, and the open layout keeps cooking close to the living and dining space.

The primary bedroom faces west and has an ensuite marble bath, large closets and a reading nook. West-facing windows can take direct sun from about 1:11 PM to 8:07 PM on the summer solstice, though nearby buildings can block it.

The second floor holds a third bedroom now set up as an office, with Western and Southern views, another full bath and a private terrace of over 60 square feet. The terrace leads to the common roof deck, which has outdoor cooking facilities and dining tables. Stairs connect the two levels, which gives each floor more separation from the other.

The building has a doorman and concierge, plus a garage, storage space, a gym, a children's playroom, a courtyard, a garden and a bike room. The washer and dryer are in the unit, and the building also has laundry facilities. Pets are allowed.

The 23 St station on the 1 train is about 2 minutes on foot, with the C and E about 4 minutes away. Whole Foods is in the building, Westside Market is about 3 minutes away, and Chelsea Park and Madison Square Park are about 9 and 10 minutes on foot.
