Agent's Note
From Curtis Bain. Details about the apartment are drawn from the listing information provided through RLS by Compass.
Completed in 2017, 280 St. Marks Avenue has 31 residences and a facade of handmade Petersen Kolumba brick, designed by DXA Studio. This apartment's on the top floor, with south and east exposures through floor-to-ceiling wraparound windows.
South-facing glass gets direct sun for about 8.5 hours on a winter day and about 10 hours around the spring and fall equinoxes, and the east windows add morning light through the warmer months. Nearby buildings can block some of that, so these are open-horizon figures and they're a guide, not a guarantee.
Outdoor space totals 1,328 square feet. There's a terrace that runs the length of the living room, and the roof deck has a gas hookup, which helps if you'll be cooking outside. The home lists both a garden view and a neighborhood view.
The kitchen's custom cabinetry is paired with Olympian Danby marble countertops, a vented Wolf range and a large Liebherr refrigerator. The primary bath has a double vanity, a deep soaking tub, honed marble and radiant heat floors. Wide plank oak floors, recessed lighting, central air and an Ecosmart bioethanol fireplace run through the home, and there's a set of walk-in closets.
The sale includes a dedicated storage unit.
There's a full-time doorman, a resident super, and a double-height residents' lounge with a fireplace and pantry kitchen. Shared spaces include a fitness center, a children's playroom, a landscaped garden by horticulturist Patrick Cullina, an underground parking garage, a package room, bike storage and an elevator. Cats and dogs are allowed.
Foodtown and Mahfood Market are each about 4 minutes on foot, and Mount Prospect Park is about 9 minutes away. For trains, the B and Q at 7 Av are about 8 minutes, the 2 and 3 at Grand Army Plaza are also about 8 minutes, and the C at Clinton-Washington Avenues is about 10 minutes.
