Agent's Note
From Curtis Bain. Details about the apartment are drawn from the listing information provided through RLS by Serhant.
The garden level has its own bedroom, full bathroom, laundry area and wet bar, and it opens onto the outdoors. I like that it works on its own, so it can serve guests or become extra living space without taking over the rest of the house. The house is about 4,400 square feet across four floors.
The parlor floor is built for entertaining. The ceilings there are over 10 feet high, and the formal living room overlooks West 85th Street. The dining room has room for large gatherings. The kitchen is on the same floor, with a Wolf range, a Miele dishwasher, and Calacatta Lasa Gold countertops and backsplash, and a balcony off it.
The private garden was newly paved, so it's ready for dinner outside once the weather turns. Between the garden, the terrace and the balcony, the home has several places to be outside.
The third floor holds the primary suite, which has a double vanity with fluted wood cabinetry and brass-toned fixtures. Its bathroom is finished in cream-toned marble, and the floor there is heated. A separate large bedroom with its own bathroom is on the same floor. The top floor has three more bedrooms, a laundry area and a central den.
Four floors means stairs are part of daily life, so it's worth thinking about how you'd use each level. Wide-plank oak runs through the home, and central air has individual room zoning, so each room can be set on its own.
Riverside Park is about 2 minutes away on foot. The 86 St station on the 1 is about 4 minutes away, and Zabar's is about 6 minutes on foot.
