Agent's Note
From Curtis Bain. Details about the apartment are drawn from the listing information provided through RLS by Serhant.
A 1,300-square-foot private roof deck sits at the top of this three-bedroom townhouse, and it adds a second outdoor area to the roughly 4,500 square feet of interior. Rooftop access is listed alongside the private outdoor space.
The main level is open, with a black marble fireplace anchoring the living area. The living space runs straight into the kitchen, which has a Wolf cooktop with a vented hood, a Sub-Zero refrigerator, a Miele dishwasher, and a Caesarstone island in Poggenpohl cabinetry. An open plan like this keeps cooking and company in one room, but there's less separation between the stove and the sofa.
The primary suite is upstairs and has an en-suite bath with a deep soaking tub, a glass-enclosed rain shower and a custom double vanity. The second bedroom gets good light and works as a home office or guest room.
The garage is an optional 1,600 square feet with 11-foot ceilings and six windows, and it has an in-unit washer and dryer. Having laundry inside the home is a practical everyday convenience in New York, and the garage also gives room for a workshop, fitness space or storage.
Surround sound is built in on every floor, and the home has motion-activated security cameras, an intercom, and smartphone docking stations in each room. An electronic skylight adds to the light.
East River Esplanade is about 2 minutes away on foot, and ALDI is about 1 minute away. The home isn't furnished, but it's move-in ready.
