Building has newly renovated lobby, 1,000-square-foot roof deck with views of the Hudson River, Statue of Liberty and the Woolworth building; common charges $2,768 per month; asking price $2.7 million, 1 month on the market.

“The apartment has more of a rustic, masculine feel, yet the new buyer and two previous owners were all independent female professionals. I was impressed by this pattern, as it embodies a snapshot of the NYC female professional of the 21st century. The property received strong interest and sold in less than 4 weeks. The biggest challenge was that it was a two-bedroom with one bath. But everyone who came in liked it. Inventory is still at record lows, putting sellers at the advantage.” Erin Stabb, Town

“The apartment went very quickly; we had fully executed contracts within 10 days. I showed it to around 70 people in three days. We had a crush of interest, and the buyer was willing to pay $75,000 over the list. It was a good, solid deal. The great thing about this unit is it’s on the 18th floor, so it clears all the other buildings around. There are amazing southern, eastern and northern views from this apartment. It’s especially fantastic at night because you can see the Empire State Building and Chrysler Building. The other cool thing is that it has two private balconies — one off the living room, and the other one off the second bedroom.”

“My client had purchased the unit a little over a year ago, and when he walked in the apartment, he loved it. He bought it for $2.55 million last December. Since then, he made a couple of changes — new floor, new lighting. He decided he didn’t really use it so he called me up and asked what we could get for it. The market has really changed in the past year, so we put it up for $3.195 million and we sold it for $3.1 million. The buyer never actually saw the apartment. Her broker came and took a video, and she bought it sight unseen.”
