Agent's Note

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

A designer open kitchen with Gaggenau appliances is open to the rest of this 566-square-foot one bedroom, and it's the room that does the most work. White lacquer cabinetry sits beside a Calacatta marble waterfall island and backsplash, and an undermount stainless sink has a garbage disposal. The open layout means cooking and conversation share one room, which suits some evenings better than others.

The listing says the apartment faces south, and its floor-to-ceiling windows also carry city and river views. For a south-facing window, the sun figures for an open horizon show about 8.5 hours of direct sun on the winter solstice, from 7:41 AM to 4:07 PM, and about 10 hours at the spring and fall equinoxes. Nearby buildings can block some of that.

Walk-in closets and an entrance foyer give the apartment places to put things, and the high ceilings add room to work with vertically. Smart-home controls handle climate and lighting remotely, and the in-unit Bosch washer and dryer means laundry stays inside the apartment.

The building is 59 stories, completed in 2008, with 814 units. The listing describes a 24-hour doorman and concierge, and it lists an elevator, a gym, a roof deck, garage parking and valet parking. There's also a bike room, cold storage, a children's playroom, a game room, a billiard room and a golf simulator. Cats and dogs are allowed.

Bella Abzug Park is about 7 minutes on foot, and the 42 St-Port Authority Bus Terminal, with the 1, 2, 3, 7, A, C and E trains, is about 8 minutes away. The Food Emporium is about 2 minutes from the building, and the Westside Theatre is about 3 minutes.
