Agent's Note

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

The building at 42 White Street is an individual landmark, and this two-bedroom, two-bathroom residence runs to 2,063 square feet. Private terraces open off every room, which is the feature that sets it apart from most apartments at this size.

The primary suite includes a dressing room built to a custom design, with lighting fitted into the joinery and speakers set into the walls, and I like it as a room you'd use every morning. Walk-in closets are also part of the home.

The kitchen has stainless steel appliances and an island you can cook at or sit down to. Designer fixtures by Illanel, Bocci, Tom Dixon and Gabriel Scott carry through the rooms, so the lighting and hardware feel chosen rather than standard.

The unit has its own washer and dryer. The building also has a roof deck, and the apartment has city and skyline views.

Canal Street is about 4 minutes on foot, with the 6, J, N, Q, R, W and Z trains, and the 1 train at Franklin Street is also about 4 minutes away. For daily errands, Gourmet Garage is about 3 minutes on foot, and Columbus Park is about 7 minutes.

Cats and dogs are allowed, and the building has an elevator.
