Agent's Note
From Curtis Bain. Details about the apartment are drawn from the listing information provided through RLS by Douglas Elliman Real Estate.
Two residences sit on each floor at 296 East 2nd Street, in a boutique condominium built in 2005, and the building has elevator access. That's a small, settled building to come home to, and the elevator makes everyday trips with groceries and furniture simpler.
Residence 4H is an 800-square-foot one-bedroom with one bath. The ceilings are over 9 feet, which gives the rooms more volume and more room to decide where furniture goes, though a high ceiling doesn't fix a plan on its own. The home faces north, so there's no direct sun on the windows in winter. In summer the north windows get about 4.2 hours of direct sun, in the early morning and again in the evening, and nearby buildings can block it.
I like the open kitchen. It has full-size appliances, extensive cabinet storage and plenty of counter space. An open plan keeps cooking connected to the living area, though you'll have less separation between the two. The closets include custom shelving, and the primary bedroom has dual closets. A private balcony gives you outdoor space directly off the home.
The listing describes garden and partial skyline views from the apartment. Hamilton Fish Park is about 1 minute on foot, and East River Park is about 7 minutes away. The Delancey St-Essex St station, served by the F, J, M and Z, is about 12 minutes on foot, and Citi Bike has a station about 200 feet from the building.
Pets are allowed, and the building offers bicycle storage.
