350 W 42ND Street 43F

Agent's Note

From Curtis Bain. Details about the apartment are drawn from the listing information provided through RLS by Brown Harris Stevens Residential Sales LLC.

The open kitchen is the main design choice in 43F. It has a breakfast bar and sits within the living room, so cooking, eating and the view share one space, and it's easy to host without a separate room in between. The trade-off is that cooking, working and relaxing happen in the same area, with less separation between them.

The apartment is 768 square feet on the 43rd floor, with floor-to-ceiling windows and hardwood floors throughout. The listing describes it as south facing, with the living room looking south over downtown and the Hudson River, and the larger bedroom also facing south. A south-facing window gets the most sun across the day. On the winter solstice, an open horizon gives about 8.5 hours of direct sun, from 7:41 AM to 4:07 PM, and around the equinoxes it's about 10 hours. Nearby buildings can block some of that.

The listing includes a washer dryer in the unit, which keeps laundry inside the apartment. Central air is also included. The listing names views of One World Trade Center, Hudson Yards, the Empire State Building and The New Yorker from the living room and bedroom. Those views are the reason to see the apartment in person.

The building is a 60-story full-service condominium with concierge service, maid service, dry cleaning, valet parking, garage parking, an elevator, a bike room and cold storage. The amenities are on the 30th floor and include an 8,200-square-foot fitness center, a pool, sundecks, a sauna and lounge areas. Pets are allowed.

Shorty's and Capizzi are each about 1 to 2 minutes' walk away, and Aldi is about 3 minutes. The 42 St-Port Authority Bus Terminal station, served by the 1, 2, 3, 7, A, C, E, N, Q, R, S and W lines, is about 4 minutes on foot. Bryant Park is about 13 minutes away.
