Agent's Note

From Curtis Bain. Details about the apartment are drawn from the listing information provided through RLS by Douglas Elliman Real Estate.

Laundry is handled inside the unit, since a washer and dryer are already in place, and the kitchen came with KitchenAid stainless steel appliances and a garbage disposal. The renovated open chef's kitchen has Ultra-Dekton clean surface island countertops, white high gloss cabinets and globe lighting, so the cooking and the living space share one open room.

The living room is bright and overlooks landmarked rooftops. Large casement windows face both north and south, which gives the home light at more than one point in the day. On the summer solstice, the north-facing windows get about 4.2 hours of direct sun across two windows, and the south-facing windows get about 6.1 hours. Nearby buildings can block that sun.

I like the bedroom layout. The two bedrooms are nicely proportioned and set in winged positions, which gives you some separation between them. Both bathrooms have radiant heated tiled floors and modern vanities, and custom built-in closet systems run through the home. Built-in closets keep the floor clear for furniture and everything else you actually use.

The building was completed in 2003 and has 11 stories and 99 units. It has an elevator, a full-service 24-hour doorman, a live-in super, a fitness center, a laundry room and a spacious indoor lounge. The listing also describes a common garden patio. Pets are allowed.

Borough Hall is about 5 minutes on foot for the 2, 3, 4, 5 and R trains, and Jay St-MetroTech is about 6 minutes for the A, C, F and R. Columbus Park is about 5 minutes away, and Trader Joe's is about 5 minutes on foot, with Hashi about 3 minutes away. You'll find the commute and errands are close at hand.
