Agent's Note

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

The eat-in kitchen has a full-size washer and dryer, so everyday laundry doesn't depend on the shared room in the building. Since the apartment has its own machines, the laundry room is there as a backup rather than a routine stop.

The layout has two separate bedroom wings, each with its own bath, which gives you more separation between sleeping areas than a typical two-bedroom plan. The formal dining room can also work as a den or home office, so a weeknight dinner and a workday can share the same space without much rearranging. I like that the layout is built around how people actually move through a home.

The living room is a 20-foot-square sunken space with 10-foot ceilings. That combination gives the room real volume and gives you more ways to furnish it. The listing says the major rooms face south and calls the apartment sunny. I can't give you sun times for this exposure, and nearby buildings could block some of that light, so it's worth seeing the windows at a few different times of day.

The building has a 24-hour doorman, a live-in super, storage, an elevator, and direct access to the garage. Pets are allowed. The listing describes it as a full-service building, and the doorman coverage is a practical benefit for deliveries and guests.
