Agent's Note
From Curtis Bain. Details about the apartment are drawn from the listing information provided through RLS by Modern Spaces.
At 942 square feet, 12C sits on the 12th floor of 303 East 43rd Street, and the listing describes its living and dining areas as spacious enough for both everyday use and entertaining. The kitchen has its own window, which helps when cooking and hosting share the same apartment. The plan can also be converted into a second bedroom, subject to applicable approvals, so a guest room or office is an option without changing the core layout.
Wood floors run through the home, and the recent upgrades include high-end appliances. The listing mentions high ceilings, and that gives the rooms a sense of volume and more flexibility in how furniture's arranged. The views are city and river, and the East River is about 0.2 miles away in a straight line.
The building is a 28-story condominium completed in 1984, with 79 units, an elevator, laundry in the building, storage space and a courtyard. The listing calls it a full-service, white-glove condominium, which gives the building an attentive level of service.
Grand Central-42 St is about 7 minutes on foot, and the 51 St station is about 12 minutes. For everyday errands, Ermina's and Amish Market East are each about 2 minutes away, and you'll find the East River Esplanade about 7 minutes on foot.
