Description

Rarely available and originally configured with a three-bedroom, two-bathroom layout, this home offers stunning direct Central Park views and has been beautifully renovated throughout and transformed into a stunning five room residence with two bedroom, two bathrooms plus a gracious dining room. Situated on the eighth floor, this thoughtfully designed co-op offers exposures to the south, east, and west, filling the home with natural light throughout the day. Expansive picture windows frame direct views of Central Park in both the living room and primary bedroom, creating a dramatic backdrop for both everyday living and entertaining. One enters into a property foyer leading to a lovely dining room and an oversized windowed chef's kitchen with Silestone countertops and dining bar, top-of the line appliances, loads of custom cabinets, and a large pantry. The generiously proportioned living room offers large picture windows facing the beauty of Central Park plus there is an oversized home office and storage room created by the current owner. Both bedrooms are sun-flooded corner rooms, and both are large enough for king beds and side tables. The Primary suite boasts Park views and sunny southern views, a gorgeous designer bath, and two large closets. The second bedroom faces south and east and has its own elegant designed bathroom. Gorgeous hard woodwood floors, thru-wall air conditioning, and several fitted closets, complete this incredible offer. Residents of 1270 Fifth Avenue enjoy the services of a full-time door staff, Resident Superintendent, storage facilities, and on-site laundry. Built in 1959 and comprising 201 residences across 14 floors, the building offers exceptional financials, very reasonable maintenances, and a well-established cooperative community in one of Manhattan's most dynamic Renaissance neighborhoods. Please note there is an assessment of 143.22/Mo and there is a flip tax of $25/share.
