Description

This sprawling Upper East Side home is not to be missed. Apartment 12D is a sunny 2-bedroom, 2.5-bathroom home that can easily be converted to a spacious 3-bedroom apartment. Past the gracious entrance foyer through the elegant gallery is a massive 14'6" x 24'8" living room with double exposures. Perfect for entertaining, the formal dining room is large enough for a 10 person table. The windowed eat-in kitchen could use some updating but has a tremendous amount of potential.

Both bedrooms with en-suite bathrooms are on opposite wings. The master bedroom faces east and is more than large enough to fit a king sized bed. Three massive closets make this master even more wonderful. The second bedroom, facing north, is currently being used as an office and also has ample closet space. Both bathrooms are in excellent condition and feature Kohler fixtures and fresh wallpaper.

Original hardwood floors, tons of natural light, proportionate rooms and a flexible layout make this offering incredibly desirable. A private storage bin is also included with this unit. Please note there is a monthly assessment of $176.78 until March 2021 for building window replacements. This apartment will be delivered with brand new windows. 2% flip tax paid by the buyer and 40% maximum financing allowed. Showing times are Monday-Friday 9AM-5PM.

Townsend House is a well-established 20-story co-op located in the heart of the Upper East Side. Built in 1962 by Rosario Candela's partner, Paul Resnick, this full-service coop has a full-time doorman, concierge, live-in super, gym, central laundry room, parking garage, children's outdoor playroom, bike storage and private storage. The building does not permit pets but allows washer/dryers.
