Description

Apartment 5C at the Powellton is a spacious and light-filled 3-bedroom, 2-bathroom pre-war. At the heart of this expansive, approximately 1550 square foot home, is a very large, loft-like kitchen, dining area, and living room. High ceilings, 5 large windows, and south and west exposures bathe the apartment in light all day long. There are hardwood floors and abundant storage space throughout. The kitchen is fabulous for the chef who likes to chop while chatting with family members and guests; its spacious counter overlooks the dining and living rooms, and a washer dryer is hidden away in one of the many cabinets. The large master bedroom features an en suite bathroom. All three bedrooms are well distanced for privacy. This lovely, well-priced home is an exceptional value. The Powellton is a pre-war coop, with a full-time doorman, elevator, laundry room, live-in super, bike room, and storage. Whole Foods, Trader Joes, and the W.97th Street Farmers Market are all nearby and the 1/2/3 subway is just 1 block away. Both Riverside and Central Parks are nearby. The coop permits gifting, co-purchases, guarantors, pied-a-terres, and parents buying for children. Financing allowed up to 80%. Cats and dogs are welcome.
