Description

MAJOR PRICE DROP - MOTIVATED SELLER

With approximately 750 square feet, this apartment can work as a small two-bedroom, or a one-bedroom with den/office. It is in good condition but the kitchen and baths could use updating. Patterned hardwood floors, French doors and high ceilings add prewar charm.

The entire apartment is flooded with light all day from large South-facing windows, in addition to East and North exposures. Add panoramic city views and total quiet, and you have a perfect oasis in the Upper West Side's most sought-after location.

The Franconia, with 169 apartments, was built in 1924 and became a cooperative in 1983. Situated just off Central Park and surrounded by all of the dining, shopping, and cultural destinations of this vibrant neighborhood, not to mention two subway lines and bus transportation within a block, the building offers bike storage, a laundry room, storage units, and a children's playroom. Guarantors, co-purchasing and Pieds-a-Terre are permitted, and pets are allowed. Gas, electric and basic cable are included in the maintenance.
