330 E 38th Street 47-C

Agent's Note

From Curtis Bain. Details about the apartment are drawn from the listing information provided through RLS by R New York.

The balcony is under 60 square feet, which is modest, but it's private and opens the apartment directly onto outdoor space. On a 47th-floor unit, that's a real plus.

The listing says the unit faces south, west and east. The living room's rounded bay windows frame southern city views and the Empire State Building from that height. On an open horizon, a south-facing window gets about 8.5 hours of direct sun on the winter solstice, though nearby buildings can block it.

The primary bedroom is large enough for a king bed, according to the listing, and there's a dining area and an entrance foyer. Central air is included. Washers and dryers are allowed in the unit.

The building has a concierge, an elevator and a full-time doorman. Shared amenities include a gym, an indoor pool, a spa, a sauna, a roof deck and a courtyard. Pets are allowed, and assigned and garage parking are offered. A doorman handles deliveries and guests, which you notice most day to day.

Grand Central-42 St is about 10 minutes on foot, and St. Vartan Park is about 2 minutes away. Gristedes is about 4 minutes away when you need groceries.
