The Open House Scorecard: You might sacrifice a doorman for the privacy of these apts
Who doesn’t crave a bit of privacy, especially in the middle of NYC?
Apparently, apartment hunters searching StreetEasy.com this weekend had privacy on their minds, because this week’s Open House Scorecard -- the 10 open-houses folks perusing the real estate site saved to their calendars more than any others -- puts a spotlight on units with space to retreat from the hustle and bustle of city life.
If you’ve got a green thumb (or hope to develop one) you might consider a $1.275m three-bedroom, three-bath condo on Lincoln Place between Seventh and Sixth Avenues in Park Slope (pictured). The walk-up (with a video intercom entry system) features a private garden, and can be converted into a four-bedroom. The duplex has zoned central heating and cooling and a full-size Bosch washer and dryer.
A $849k two-bedroom condo on East 10th Street between Avenue B and Avenue C has its own private entrance, as well as a north-facing balcony. You can also do your laundry in solitude with your own in-unit washer-dryer. The East Village walk-up duplex has low common charges and real estate taxes ($496 and $218, respectively).
You can get a breath of fresh air on your private balcony with open, southern city views in a two-bedroom condop on the corner of Lexington Avenue and 24th Street for $825k in the Flatiron district. Though not private, the full-service elevator building also offers a fitness center with a swimming pool and sauna, as well as a finished roof deck. Pied-a-terres, parents purchasing for children, gifting and guarantors are allowed. There are few restrictions on sublets, but dogs are only allowed with board approval.
On the UWS, a $995k two-bedroom duplex condo on the corner of 85th and Columbus Avenue features a private roof deck with a south-facing planting terrace. The price of this spiral-staircased duplex, which is steps from Central Park and has 11’ ceilings, was recently reduced.
In Williamsburg on the corner of Manhattan Avenue and Scholes Street is a $479k two-bedroom walk-up duplex condo with a 400-square-foot private roof terrace and a narrow balcony. The kitchen features stainless steel appliances with white granite countertops.
