PRICE IMPROVEMENT - 1601 THIRD AVENUE, APARTMENT 20-CW
A RARE opportunity exists to own one of only four of the largest Junior 4 / convertible 2 bedrooms condos in Ruppert Towers. This home, located on the 20th floor, is in a sought-after line that seldom comes to market. The apartment is 813 sq. Feet and has a functional flow, as it sets up perfectly to have a separate 2nd bedroom or office. The hardwood oak floors are in excellent condition; floor to ceiling custom closet systems are in abundance throughout the home. The windows are new, and all have Hunter Douglas blinds. The bathroom is spacious and fully renovated. The bedroom is large, able to fit a king-size bed as well as other furniture. The kitchen has granite counter tops and two entry points. The apartment resides in a full-service building with a full-time doorman, valet service, and concierge. There is an attached garage, as well as an outdoor terrace with BBQ and an adult lounge/party room (under construction). There is a bike room and package room, and residents enjoy access to a private playground. This condo is unique as it has a large storage unit available for a fee of $400 per month. The location is in the Upper East Side's heart near the 92nd Street Y, shopping, restaurants, bars, transportation (4, 5, 6 subways, and the new Q train subways). Several grocery stores are nearby, including Whole Foods. Ruppert Towers is in an investor-friendly condo (unlimited subletting is authorized for leases of at least one year). Pieds-a-Terre are allowed, and 90% financing is permitted. Cats and birds are welcome, but no dogs. The common charges are low and include utilities: heat, electricity, and hot water. This home has a significant number of endless possibilities for the savvy buyer.
