Description

Perfectly perched on the third floor with tree top views and northern and southern exposures, unit 3L gives you light and privacy with Central Park outside your door. Polished concrete floors combine a modern aesthetic with practical comfort, underscoring a sophisticated style that permeates the home. The floor through layout is airy and spacious with separate living, dining, and sleeping areas, making it as ideal for family and entertaining as it is for working remotely. The foyer has two closets and leads through to the dining area into an expansive and bright living room with large, south facing windows and a decorative marble fireplace. The windowed eat-in kitchen is equipped with ample counter and cabinet space and stainless-steel appliances. While both the bedrooms are soothing and quiet, each offer unique features: the large master has a walk-in closet and en suite half bath, and the second bedroom has a custom built-in desk giving it the versatility to double as a home office or children's room. Additional details found throughout include skim coat paint and custom built-in shelves perfect for showcasing your art and book collections. The luxurious concrete tub in the main bathroom creates a spa-like feel and is the perfect finishing touch for your very own urban oasis. 1270 5th Avenue is a well-run, full-service co-op as evidenced by the LOW MAINTENANCE costs and capital improvements including a new faade, lobby, and community room all currently underway. A 24-hour attended lobby, live-in resident manager, parking (with a waitlist), storage, and laundry make this building not only a comfortable home but a wise investment. This pet friendly building allows gifting and pied--terre as well as up to 80% financing. Low maintenance costs include heat, hot water, gas, and electricity. At your door is Central Park, the Conservatory Gardens, and, of course, the famed Museum Mile. Further enhancing this location is easy access to Westside and Eastside transportation options, including the 2 3 and 6 trains and the Fifth Avenue bus only steps away. Don't miss this rare opportunity to live in style on Manhattan's iconic Fifth Avenue!
