Description

Perched atop a beautifully maintained art-deco elevator co-op, this one bedroom plus is flooded with light and lined with closets. There are southern exposures in the living room and bedroom, with western exposures in the kitchen and bathroom and the building has just paid off it's underlying mortgage. With work done to the kitchen and bathroom, this unit will truly shine. Rumored to be the former home of legendary singers Billy Eckstine, Eartha Kitt, and Della Reese, this historic co-op is situated on the northwest corner of 5th Ave and 126th street where you are close enough to transportation and convenience without sacrificing piece of mind. The building has a live-in super, liberal sublet policy, and income restrictions depending on the size of the household: 1 Person?..$94,566/ 2 People?..$108,075/ 3 People?..$121,585/ 4 People?..$134,991.

The real estate market is a mix of beautifully preserved 19th-century brownstones, value-driven HDFC cooperatives, and a surge of modern luxury condominiums that offer contemporary amenities near the 125th Street retail corridor.
