Agent's Note
From Curtis Bain. Details about the apartment are drawn from the listing information provided through RLS by Douglas Elliman Real Estate.
High beamed ceilings, over nine feet, run through the rooms of this 1928 prewar apartment, and moldings, millwork and inlaid wood floors carry the building's original character into the layout. A 20-foot entry gallery leads to a living room with custom built-ins, and a wide arched opening connects it to a dining room that can accommodate eight or more.
Light is the strongest case for the south windows. A winter day gives a south window roughly 8.5 hours of direct sun, starting at 7:41 AM and ending at 4:07 PM. Spring and fall each reach close to 10 hours, with sun arriving around 8:04 AM in March and 7:50 AM in September and leaving near 6:02 PM and 5:47 PM. The June figure is the shortest, around 6.1 hours, with sun from 9:55 AM through 4:01 PM. These times assume an open horizon, so a building nearby could block some of that sun. The listing also mentions open views over a quiet block.
The split-bedroom plan puts the two additional bedrooms in their own wing, each with an en-suite bath, so the primary suite stays separate. The primary bedroom is larger than most studio apartments and has room for a king-size bed, a sitting area and a home office. Its bath has marble mosaic floors, beveled subway tile, a deep soaking tub, a separate stall shower and a double-sink vanity, and two walk-in closets provide the storage.
The windowed eat-in kitchen has a built-in banquette and a palette of classic white and warm wood, which suits everyday cooking as well as morning coffee. Washers and dryers aren't permitted in the apartment, so laundry means a trip to the basement, which is worth factoring in.
The building has an elevator, a bike room, cold storage, storage space and a courtyard, and the apartment has private outdoor space of over 60 square feet. An elevator makes groceries and moving furniture a lot easier, which matters more than most features on a list like this.
Lexington Av/53 St station, served by the 6, E and F trains, is about 8 minutes on foot, and East River Walk is about 4 minutes away. Morton Williams is about 6 minutes away, and Ideal Cheese Shop is about 1 minute.
