Agent's Note

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

Pietra Cardosa marble and glass tile accents set the primary bathroom apart, and the custom white lacquer cabinetry sits well against them. Floating double vanities keep the floor open, which helps the room feel lighter. Polished statuary marble covers the floors and countertops too, so the bathroom reads as one considered space, with bold marble and glass tile accents.

The kitchen is double width and equipped with Sub-Zero, Wolf and Bosch appliances. Wide-plank walnut hardwood runs through the home, and the separate dining alcove gives you a place to eat or work that doesn't have to be the living room. I like that the alcove can adapt as your needs change, and that the walnut floors carry from the kitchen into the rest of the apartment.

Laundry stays at home, since the apartment has its own washer and dryer. The building has 18 stories and 34 residences, with a 24-hour doorman and a resident manager. Shared spaces include a private fitness center, a landscaped terrace, an entertainment lounge, a children's playroom, a laundry room, a roof deck and bike storage. Pets are allowed, and the building has a bike room for them to be used alongside, so the common spaces get regular use.

Getting around is straightforward.

The 6 train at 77 St is about 7 minutes on foot, and the 4, 5 and 6 at 86 St are about 12. John Jay Park is about 9 minutes away, and Morton Williams is about 4 minutes away for groceries. The Met is about 16 minutes away if you want to spend an afternoon there, and the Frick is about 17.
