About This Home
Charming and Sunny Pre-War 6 Room Residence Just Off Central Park!
Apartment 2BC is a warm and welcoming six room apartment with approximately 1,300 SF configured as a split two bedroom layout with an additional flex room. A sizeable foyer upon entry gives you a glimpse of the bright entertaining area to the west and the spacious primary suite to the east. The king-sized primary suite is complete with an updated windowed en-suite bathroom and offers an immense amount of storage with four dedicated closets. The two oversized south-facing windows offer pin drop quiet rear building views overlooking the seasonally landscaped garden courtyard of 16 East 98th Street and the gardens of the neighboring low profile landmarked building.
Apartment 2BC's kitchen, dining room, and living room benefits from an open layout and five oversized south-facing windows that span all three rooms, enhancing the already high beamed ceilings and allowing for this central, airy entertaining space to be illuminated with warm, rich sunlight throughout the day. The open windowed kitchen, featuring sleek wood cabinetry, granite countertops and a breakfast bar, has just been outfitted with a brand new stainless steel GE appliance suite including a new dishwasher, stove, and microwave.
The neighboring living and dining room is ideal for the aspiring host. Adjacent to one another with an expansive wood-framed opening, the dining room is spacious enough to accommodate a 12-person dining table and sideboard while the open expanse between both spaces allows for seamless flow. Both spaces are punctuated with charming pre-war details including beamed ceilings and picture frame moldings. Lovely honey-colored hardwood floors are found throughout the apartment and on stunning display in these side-by-side rooms with an abundance of natural lighting.
The second bedroom and additional flex space are both located on the west side of the apartment, opposite of the primary suite, in a set up ideal for maintaining quiet privacy for residents and guests alike and share a Jack-and-Jill en-suite bathroom in renovated condition. The second bedroom, with two oversized windows looking north, is queen sized while the south facing flex room can comfortably accommodate an XL daybed in its current set up as a guest bedroom. Located in the hallway just outside of these rooms is a large cedar closet.
Installation of an in-unit washer and dryer is allowed with approval.
Features of this apartment include hardwood flooring throughout, high beamed ceilings, 12 oversized windows in total (10 of which face south), through wall A/C in the main living space, and quiet rear-building exposures.
Built in 1925, 16 East 98th Street is a well-established and pet-friendly cooperative where residents enjoy access to a lovely garden with a grill, a central laundry room, private storage and bike storage options, an elevator, and a live-in superintendent.
