Description

JUST REDUCED! This spacious West 70's prewar condo is a true find! Situated on a high floor, all rooms offer breathtaking city views, unlikely to be found elsewhere. The daylight is exquisite and the night time views are Manhattan at its most spectacular. The apartment offers elegant, classic prewar details such as beautiful hardwood floors, high beamed ceilings and a separate dining area adjacent to the kitchen. It is especially quiet too. Features of the apartment include a washer/dryer, through wall air conditioning, upgraded kitchen and bathroom. The apartment is +/- 764 SF. The lobby and hallways were recently renovated and fresh flowers are a lovely feature. Pets, pieds a terre and investors are welcome.
The building is in the heart of one of the most dynamic and interesting neighborhoods in Manhattan. Bordered by Central Park to the east and Riverside Park and The Hudson to the west, the offerings are limitless with outdoor life always nearby. World famous markets, Zabar's, Citarella and Fairway are all minutes away while Amsterdam and Columbus Avenues offer a multitude of choices for restaurants, bars, cafes, bistros and ice creameries. Within a few blocks are The Museum Of Natural History, Lincoln Center, The NY Historical society. Several subway and bus lines, across the street or a block away, make connections throughout the city as easy as possible. There is a Citibike station across from the building. Equinox, Pure Yoga, Soul Cycle, Pure Barre and NY Sports are immediately convenient. However, wherever you roam, coming home to this gem of a residence will always be the grande finale!
The Hopkins Condominium is a full service building with a live-in resident manager, full time doormen, handyman and porters. There is a laundry in the building, storage units (wait-listed) and bike sheds. The building was built in 1930 and converted to condominium in 2005. There are 19 stories and 98 original units, with several apartment combined since the conversion.
The LOW MONTHLY COMMON CHARGE AND PROPERTY TAXES adds to the appeal as well as a J51 TAX ABATEMENT which runs until 6/30/2040.
