Description

Welcome to Residence 3H at 1270 Fifth Avenue, a sun-filled and exceptionally quiet 2 bedroom/1.5 bath home with both southern and northern exposures, ideally located with Central Park as your backyard.

A gracious entry foyer with two closets welcomes you in, immediately showcasing the home's excellent storage and well-designed layout. The expansive living room easily accommodates a large sectional and offers ample space for a full dining area-perfect for both everyday living and entertaining.

Both bedrooms are generously proportioned with abundant closet space, including a primary suite with its own en-suite half bath.

The large, windowed eat-in kitchen features granite countertops and stainless steel appliances, including a dishwasher. A full bathroom with a deep soaking tub completes the home's thoughtful layout.

Additional highlights include 8-foot ceilings, brand new light oakwood floors, through-wall air conditioning, oversized double-paned picture windows, and a total of eight closets throughout.

1270 Fifth Avenue
is a well-maintained and financially-sound, 14-story full-service postwar cooperative built in 1959, offering a 24-hour doorman and concierge service via BuildingLink. The building is handicap accessible and features a recently renovated lobby, updated hallways and elevators, a laundry room, bike room, storage, a resident-only garage (waitlist), community room, and a live-in resident manager. Major capital improvements in recent years include the roof, windows, and boiler.

This pet-friendly co-op allows up to 80% financing and offers flexible policies including subletting (after two years of ownership), co-purchasing, pieds-à-terre, and gifting-with board approval. Monthly maintenance includes heat, hot water, gas, and electricity. Buyers must maintain a debt-to-income ratio of 33% or less. The seller pays the flip tax, and washer/dryers are permitted with approval.

Perfectly positioned on iconic Fifth Avenue, directly across from Central Park and the Harlem Meer, the home is surrounded by neighborhood conveniences, including nearby subway access to the 2/3 and 6 lines, a supermarket just around the corner, the Museum of African Art, and the newly developed Davis Center featuring a skating rink, pool, and scenic boardwalk.

Please note:
There is an ongoing capital assessment of $100.24/month.
