389 E 89th Street 4B

Agent's Note

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

The open loft layout at 389 East 89th Street, unit 4B, puts the living spaces and kitchen in one room with walls of south-facing windows. You get light and a sense of volume, and you give up some separation between cooking, working and relaxing. In an 836-square-foot home, that's a reasonable trade, and the interior office or study gives you a room you can close a door on.

South-facing windows get direct sun for about 8.5 hours on the winter solstice, from 7:41 AM to 4:07 PM, and about 10 hours at the equinoxes. On the summer solstice the direct sun runs about 6.1 hours, from 9:55 AM to 4:01 PM. Those figures assume an open horizon, and nearby buildings can block some of it.

The kitchen has custom cabinetry, marble counters and premium stainless appliances. The bath has a soaking tub. Hardwood floors run through the apartment, and closets are spread throughout it, so storage isn't concentrated in one spot.

The building has a 24-hour doorman, a concierge, an elevator, a package room, a residents' lounge, a gym, a health club and a roof deck. The third-floor outdoor terrace has a garden and a grill. Cats and dogs are allowed, and the home has central air.

Asphalt Green is about 4 minutes on foot, and the East River Esplanade about 6. The 86 St station on the Q is about 5 minutes away, and the 4, 5 and 6 at 86 St about 10. C-Town is about 1 minute from the door, and the Guggenheim is about 16 minutes on foot.
