129 Barrow Street # GB

Presenting the largest 3-bed duplex with private outdoor space being offered for sale in the complex right now, and has the best backyard. It also faces SOUTH, and has the most privacy. Renovated in 2018, GB/1B feels more like a house than an apartment- featuring three king-sized bedrooms, stacked W/D in unit, 1 1/2 baths (that can easily become 2), and the co-op's most impressive private backyard. The galley kitchen features quality lacquer cabinets, full-sized appliances, and warm quartz countertops. Indeed it can be opened up to the living room. Layout matters- and everything is right where you'd expect it in this one. There's a natural place for your dining table between the kitchen & outdoor patio, and the living room allows for multiple furniture configurations, with at least three good walls to place your television. A powder room on the first floor is adjacent to a coat closet, and can easily be expanded to add a sink in that location, making it a true full bathroom if you so desire. The main entertaining level actually has 9' ceilings, giving you sheer volume of living space. Best of all: living and dining areas, two of the upstairs bedrooms and the private backyard each face South for maximum sunlight. There is both an entrance and full-color video intercom on both levels. You'd be hard-pressed to find a unit more peaceful and private than this one, there is literally nobody looking in from the street or rear yard. The finished private backyard is a DREAM, and so rare in NYC at any price point. Immediately connected to the apartment with an adorable patio door, there is room for tables, seating, and your very own BBQ grill. As a bonus, there's a shared greenspace- spanning an entire city block- directly accessible from the rear yard with numerous patio and lounge chairs, multiple BBQ grills (with charcoal often supplied by your neighbors), and four separate entrances so you can approach or leave whichever way you happen to be strolling in this picture-perfect neighborhood. This unit has newer high-efficiency heat pump units through the wall that provide both A/C and heating, continuous fresh air ventilation in the kitchen and baths for superior indoor air quality, and the ability for full-on cross ventilation during warmer weather months. Location also matters! At 129 Barrow, you're on a quiet block, away from noisy Holland Tunnel traffic, yet up the hill from Hudson River Park. The building is close to multiple transit options, very close to a plethora of restaurants, shops, and waterfront amenities. Co-op has an onsite management office one block away, two live-in supers, and numerous other shareholder benefits. Generous sublet policy, with no cap and 25% down if financing. Sellers have already moved out, listing agent lives right in the neighborhood and showings can be arranged most any time of day or night.
