Description

Seeing is believing in this impeccably styled and customized home - your very own oasis in the city. From the moment you step into the gallery foyer you recognize the quality of the finishes and attention to detail that set this home apart. The smart layout offers comfort and privacy alike, making it as versatile for family and working from home as it is for entertaining and hosting. Northern and southern exposures from the 9th floor let in light while offering quiet, open city views. From the generous foyer the dining area opens to an elegant living room defined by custom built-ins, bookshelves and a decorative fireplace. A separate, windowed eat-in kitchen with ample cabinets and granite counter tops complements high-end appliances including a wine fridge and hooded range, making it as functional as it is inviting.

The professional skim coating and new paint coupled with the hardwood molding and wainscoting provide a consistent statement of elegance that runs into both bedrooms, including the master with a private half bath attached and the second bedroom that can easily double as a home office or nursery. All told, a discerning eye will quickly recognize the unique craftsmanship that makes 9H the perfect combination of class and comfort.

1270 5th Avenue is a well-maintained full-service co-op with a 24-hour attended lobby, live-in resident manager, parking (with a waitlist), bike storage, and laundry. 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 in all its glory, 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 5th Avenue bus only steps away. Don't miss this rare opportunity to live in style on Manhattan's iconic 5th Avenue!
