The price: $799,000

Buyers who put down a 10% down payment of $79,900 can expect to see monthly payments of $6,032, while a 20% down payment of $159,800 brings monthly payments down to $5,531. These monthly payments include common charges of $535 and taxes of $991. A $30.75/month assessment is in place through 2030.
Why you’ll love it…
Step into this unit through an entryway complete with its own closet, and perfectly sized for a shoe rack and console table. The foyer flows into the open-concept kitchen and living room featuring two large windows, gray plank flooring, and dropdown pendant lights. Gray and white two-tone cabinetry adds to the modern and sleek look of the kitchen. You’ll also find a whole suite of stainless steel appliances, including a mounted microwave, full-size oven, and the cherry on top: a dishwasher. A stacked refrigerator and freezer are concealed behind cabinet panels, while a deep stainless steel sink, white Caesarstone countertops, and white tile backsplash bring the whole classic and updated look together.
There’s enough space in the living area for a small dining table in addition to a sectional or couch and armchair. You’ll also find one of the best parts of the apartment in this room — a washer/dryer tucked into a closet. The bathroom is also located off the living area, which is outfitted in marble and ceramic wall tiles and includes a spacious vanity and shower/tub combo.
The bedroom, situated on the other side of the entryway, has two windows and a closet. And if you need more storage, never fear: the unit comes with its own storage unit in the building. The home also boasts a multi-zone HVAC system to keep you cool in the hot summer months.
This building has just as much to offer outside the unit as inside — if not more. It checks off some common must-haves like an elevator and bike room, while providing some less common amenities like a wine tasting room, work conference room, and on-site bike rentals. The fitness center even offers classes and has separate rooms for yoga and spinning. In terms of outdoor space, the building has a landscaped rooftop deck and a courtyard with a koi pond.
Situated right off 9th Avenue, the building is surrounded by a plethora of bars, restaurants, and cafes on nearby blocks. Central Park sits to the northeast, while DeWitt Clinton Park and Hudson River Park are a few blocks west. The A, C, E, B, D, and 1 trains are all nearby as well.
…and why you might not
Like many 1-bedroom units in Manhattan, this one doesn’t have a huge living and dining area. The windows also look fairly close to those of another building’s. But putting those fairly typical-for-NYC features aside, this one is certainly worth a look!
