Description

SOLD/CLOSED -- Situated in a lovely prewar building, this 5th floor walk-up convertible 3 bedroom/1 bathroom requires a MAJOR RENOVATION but has many of the prewar details that can be restored to it's natural beauty. Featuring a decorative fireplace in living room with wooden bookshelves, lots of light with triple exposure, high 9 ft ceilings, approx. 877 sq ft, original wainscoting & molding, doors and windows framed in original wood and the hardwood floors are in very good condition so a simple sanding/polyurethane will do the trick. The windowed kitchen needs everything as well as the windowed bathroom but it has the original claw foot bathtub which can be restored like new. The 1920 prewar building is well maintained with a fantastic active coop Board, part time Super/Porter, NO pets allowed & this is a "MARKET RATE" Coop (NO income cap restrictions) in a growing neighborhood. No investors please & the flip tax is only $5,000. Convenient to the 2/3 express trains @ 135th & 145th/Lenox, M1,M2,M7,M102 bus routes, great restaurants, shopping & supermarkets. (SHOWINGS BY DAY AS CURRENTLY NO ELECTRICITY).
