Agent's Note
From Curtis Bain. Details about the apartment are drawn from the listing information provided through RLS by Douglas Elliman Real Estate.
Seven bedrooms and ten bathrooms spread across five stories is a lot of house, and that's the central trade-off here. The upside is separation. With several levels, you can keep entertaining on one floor and private rooms on another. The cost is that every trip between floors is a set of stairs.
The listing describes expansive windows with views of Riverside Park, and the park is about a minute's walk from the building. It also mentions a fireplace and tall ceilings, which suit the scale of the rooms.
There's private outdoor space of more than 60 square feet, and the building lists a roof deck among its amenities. That gives you two places to be outside without leaving the house.
The washer and dryer are in the unit, so laundry doesn't require a trip out. For a home with this many rooms, that's a practical detail to notice early.
The 79 St station on the 1 line is about 6 minutes on foot, and Citarella is about 5 minutes away.

Is there private outdoor space?
Yes. There is private outdoor space of more than 60 square feet. The building also lists a roof deck among its amenities.
