Description

WOW!! Incredible opportunity to purchase a 5-bedroom, 1.5-bathroom home with a LOW maintenance and ALL FOUR exposures less than ONE block from Central Park! Run, don't walk!!

Situated on a beautiful brownstone block, this sun-flooded apartment occupies the entire fourth floor of a turn-of-the-century brownstone and is just three flights up from the lobby level. The sprawling residence boasts southern exposures and open city views the living room and front bedroom, sunny garden views from the primary bedroom, and a windowed eat-in kitchen! In-unit washer/dryer permitted, and there is building precedent for converting the half bath into another full!

This pet-friendly cooperative is steps from Central Park and surrounded by the best shops, restaurants, public and private schools, entertainment venues, and other residential conveniences that the Upper West Side has to offer! The American Museum of Natural History is just a short stroll south, and the Children's Museum of Manhattan is even closer! Transportation is a breeze with the B and C trains on 86th Street and CPW, the 1 train on 86th and Broadway, and the 86th Street crosstown bus!

This is an HDFC cooperative, so the home must be used as one's primary residence, and total annual income cannot exceed $130,440 for a household of 1, $149,160 for a household of 2, $167,760 for a household of 3, $186,360 for a household of 4, $201,240 for a household of 5, $216,120 for a household of 6, $231,120 for a household of 7, or $246,000 for a household of 8.
