Description

Welcome to Apartment 12C, a desirable 2 Bedroom, 1 Bathroom apartment at 1270 Fifth Avenue. Located on the top floor of the building and full of warm, natural light, 12C was renovated top to bottom just 5 years ago. The well-laid out apartment begins with its entry foyer (which can be utilized as a home office and/or designated dining area) leading to a spacious living room with oversized northern windows and glimpses of Central Park to the west. On the opposite side of the entry, the windowed eat-in kitchen offers room for a breakfast table among its generous cabinets, quartz countertops and full-size Bosch appliance package. During renovation, a door was conveniently added to the kitchen giving the option of separation from the rest of the apartment while cooking and/or preparing meals. The remainder of the apartment features 2 bedrooms located off the bedroom hallway and a luxurious bathroom at its end. The primary bedroom offers double exposure (north and east) and brightness along with 2 closets outfitted with shelves and rod. The 2nd bedroom (northern exposure) includes a closet of its own. The luxurious and spacious bathroom has been appointed with floor to ceiling porcelain tile, a new bathtub, polished chrome shower body and trim, and double medicine cabinet. Additional 12C details include: wide plank oak floors, custom solid-core wood doors throughout, custom built-ins and AC covers in each room, through-the-wall air conditioning in each room, complete paint job (July 2022), base molding and all new light fixtures. Full window replacement throughout apartment has been done in the last 3 years and this project has been paid in full by the current owner. Certain Photographs Have Been Virtually Staged

The Upper East Side remains the gold standard for classic New York elegance. Known for 'Museum Mile' and its low-traffic, tree-lined streets, the neighborhood offers a refined lifestyle away from the midtown bustle. While famous for its historic cooperatives, the area has seen a recent surge in ultra-luxury new construction condos, particularly along the Second Avenue Subway corridor, making it a top choice for both traditionalists and modern buyers.
