Description

The 9.5 foot ceilings of this 1-bedroom apartment give the feeling of a downtown loft. The entry foyer, abundant closet space, tall south facing windows, windowed kitchen and bath and large king-sized bedroom together make the most comfortable home. It is on the back side of the building, safely and quietly away from the street, overlooking the pleasant greenery of townhouse gardens. The entire home presents beautifully. Clean and pristine, recently renovated and full of light. The meticulously maintained boutique elevator cooperative has a full time live-in super and on-site laundry. It is located just a short distance between Central Park and Riverside Park, the 1,2,3 and B and C subway lines, and the 106 bus that quickly crosses to the East Side. Pied-a-terre, parental co-purchasing, gifting, and guarantors are allowed. Subletting allowed after only one year of ownership. Monthly capital improvement assessment of $312 through May 2023. Cats OK, sorry no dogs permitted.
