Description

Prime Central Park Block Living! A high 3rd floor renovated 2 bedroom 2 bath prewar home offers 9 foot ceilings, great light, street views and is only steps away from Central Park. The loft like living room and kitchen is perfect for entertaining, with top of the line stainless steel appliances and ceaserstone countertops. The bedrooms are generously proportioned, the closet space is excellent, and there is a Bosch washer and dryer in the unit. The double wide street allows for plenty of natural light into the home; it is pin drop quiet as this block is essentially a dead end since cars cannot drive into Central Park. Designed by H.I. Feldman and Emery Roth, The Bancroft was built in 1925 as a hotel and was converted into a full service coop in 1984. It has a 24 hour doorman, newly renovated hallways, is pet and pied-a-terre friendly, and has storage lockers for rent, a bike room, and full laundry facilities. Take advantage of low interest rates as the building requires only 20% down! Convenient to public transportation, there are 5 subway lines on 72nd Street (the B, C, 1, 2 and 3), as well as uptown, downtown and crosstown buses. Close to neighborhood food staples like Fairway, Trader Joe's, and Citarella, there are also top-rated restaurants, numerous boutiques, and Central Park is on the block! Video available upon request.
