Agent's Note
From Curtis Bain. Details about the apartment are drawn from the listing information provided through RLS by Douglas Elliman Real Estate.
Custom millwork runs through 6GH, and the renovated chef's kitchen shows it off, with custom mahogany cabinetry, granite countertops and an oversized island that adds storage. The listing describes multiple exposures that make the apartment bright, and that's a big part of how the rooms feel.
The primary bath has been expanded to include dual vanity sinks and an oversized walk-in shower, and it sits beside a sizeable primary walk-in closet. Every bathroom is windowed and renovated, which matters in a two-bath home where both rooms get daily use.
The apartment sits just below the top floor, and it looks onto treetops from every room. Lexington Av/53 St station, with the 6, E and F trains, is about 6 minutes on foot, and Whole Foods is about 7 minutes away. East River Walk is about 5 minutes on foot, so you'll have green space close by.
The building has a renovated lobby, Butterfly video security, bike storage and an elevator, along with a courtyard and a live-in superintendent who brings packages to the shareholder's door. The listing describes monthly maintenance as low. If you want a washer and dryer inside the unit, installation needs Board approval, so you'll want to build that step into your timeline early.
