Description

Sunny and quiet 2 bedroom, 1 bathroom home located in a full service postwar cooperative on Upper Fifth Avenue, directly across from Central Park.

This immaculate South facing apartment with an open living /dining area has undergone a skillful renovation by Antoinette Torrens. Inspired by the simplicity of Japanese design, bamboo floors blend with built in custom maple bookshelves, cabinetry and full height doors to create the peaceful ambiance one encounters upon entering. When more privacy is needed, the second bedroom, currently set up as a study, can be closed off from the living area by a maple and opaque glass pocket door reminiscent of a Shoji screen. Maple cabinetry has been carried through into the windowed kitchen, which also includes a Miele stovetop, Verona oven, soapstone countertops and wood grain ceramic floor tiles. The generously sized master bedroom includes two well designed small walk in closets. Additional closets and cabinets have been beautifully customized throughout to create ample storage space.

1270 Fifth Avenue is a well maintained full service building which offers a 24-hour doorman, a resident super, central laundry room, meeting /party room, bike room, and storage as well as a parking garage (currently has a wait list). The building is pet friendly. Conveniently located to mass transit: the 2,3 and 6 trains and the Fifth Avenue bus lines. This is an incredible opportunity to live on Central Park, directly across from the Harlem Meer and close to the Conservatory Gardens, Mt Sinai Hospital and Museum Mile!
