Description

Central Park Awaits! - Prime UES 2-bed, 2-bath NEW PRICE! - Enjoy direct access to Central Park this fall from your new home at 1270 Fifth Avenue. Nestled on Manhattan's prestigious Upper East Side and positioned directly across from the park, this beautifully maintained co-op offers a peaceful retreat with two spacious bedrooms and two full bathrooms. The apartment seamlessly blends post-war charm with contemporary upgrades, creating a warm and inviting living space that feels both timeless and modern. Although located on the first floor, the building's setback and half-floor elevation ensure that the apartment does not look directly onto the sidewalk, providing both privacy and a sense of separation from the street. The thoughtful floorplan features clearly defined living and dining areas, ideal for both everyday comfort and entertaining. South-facing windows in the living room and primary bedroom invite an abundance of natural light throughout the day. The eat-in kitchen is a true delight, equipped with a stainless steel five-burner Samsung stove and oven, a sleek Frigidaire refrigerator, and a dedicated pantry closet for ample storage. Apartment upgrades include a refreshed primary bathroom and recent installation of Luxury Vinyl Plank (LVP) flooring throughout. An abundance of closet space ensures a clutter-free lifestyle. The building is staffed with a full-time doorman, offering both security and a warm welcome. Additional amenities include a central laundry room, area for private storage (included with the unit), and an on-site parking garage. This pet-friendly co-op allows pied- a -terre and permits subletting after two years of residency. Living at 1270 Fifth Avenue places you at the crossroads of cultural richness and urban tranquility. With Central Park just steps away-including the newly restored Conservatory Garden and the Davis Center-along with convenient access to the 2, 3, and 6 subway trains, this location offers the perfect balance of serene park-side living and easy city commuting. Don't miss the opportunity to make this ideal New York residence your own-schedule a private showing today! Please note there is an ongoing capital assessment of $99.14 per month.
