CPW Condo Value w/ Huge Terrace
A: This good-looking property instantly caught my eye in Sunday's NY Times, so I figured to pass it on to you. Only 5 days on the market, this new 1,000 sft 1BR/1BTH Penthouse Condo is steps from Central Park and located at 30 West 90th Street. The pre-war elevator building does not have a doorman, but the apartment is unique enough to warrant serious consideration for buyers in this market!
Outdoor space is so choice in NYC. I strongly recommend buying it if you have the means! This terrace wraps around the entire apartment and offers great city and park views. When you go to re-sell the outdoor space will put your listing above the rest and probably get you more action during Open Houses (see my post on Outdoor Space: Find It!& Outdoor Space Landscaping)
According to the Halstead Listing: SUNNY GARDEN PENTHOUSE - Enjoy this prewar condominium just steps from Central Park, approximately 1000sf one bedroom. Spectacular, powerful city and park views. 10.5ft ceilings, woodburning fireplace, romantic solarium/formal dining room with large set back terrace facing sun-drenched south. Washer/dryer, jacuzzi, ample closets.

From the floorplan it looks like there's around 600 sq ft of indoor space - the remainder of the 1000 square feet must come from the terrace.

It was already IN CONTRACT when I showed up for the alleged open house on Sunday, 4/30. Posting a sign to that effect outside the building would have been a thoughtful touch.

Benita,
Sorry to hear that as it was NOT in contract when I published the post a week earlier. On one hand I feel bad that you wasted your valuable time and that the website STILL does NOT display a IN CONTRACT note. On the other hand I feel that I did a good job bringing this deal to the eyes of my audience as it certainly seemd like a great deal to me when I published the post.
This is now the 2nd property I posted on that ended up being in contract within a week from posting. Next time I post something that meets your needs be sure to check up on it as I only post listings that I think will go quickly!
