448 Broome Street 4E

Agent's Note

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

An open kitchen runs into the living room at 448 Broome Street 4E, with designer appliances and no wall between the cooking and the sofa. That's the trade. You get one connected room where the kitchen takes part in whatever else is happening, but cooking, working and relaxing share the same space, so there's less separation than you'd get with a closed kitchen.

The living room has a full wall of south-facing windows. On the winter solstice, direct sun reaches them from 7:41 AM until 4:07 PM, about 8.5 hours. Around the March and September equinoxes that stretches to close to 10 hours, and in June it's about 6.1 hours, from 9:55 AM to 4:01 PM. Those figures assume an open horizon, so a taller building across the way could take some of it. It's worth checking the living room at a few different times of day.

The dining alcove doubles as a home office, which is a sensible use of that corner. The two bedrooms are a king room with an en-suite bathroom and a queen room. Recessed lighting, abundant closet and storage space, newly installed hardwood floors and high ceilings are all part of the apartment.

The apartment has a washer and dryer in the unit, so laundry stays inside your own home, and a dishwasher is included. Pets are allowed.

The building is a landmarked cast-iron elevator loft building. The 6 at Spring Street is about 4 minutes on foot, and Canal Street has the 6, J, N, Q, R, W and Z about 5 minutes away. Sara D. Roosevelt Park and Columbus Park are each about 11 minutes on foot, and Genkiya Mart and Mulberry Market are about 5 and 6 minutes away.
