Amazing panoramic VIEWS of the midtown skyline are enjoyed from this beautiful three bedroom, two and a half bath, mint-condition home. Located less than a block from Central Park, in the most prime location of the Upper West Side, this pre-war home features six expansive windows showcasing a spectacular unobstructed 16th floor view south. Light streams into the open-plan living and dining room; and kitchen and baths are newly renovated. The large fully equipped, windowed eat-in chef's kitchen features Viking appliances and Carrera marble counters. The spacious private suite has an over-sized bedroom that accommodates a king bed, seating area, walk-in closets and full marble bath with Waterworks fixtures, dual sinks and a rainfall shower and steam system. Two additional bedrooms feature large windows and fully equipped closets. This lovely apartment is pin-drop quiet and boasts hardwood floors throughout, 9 ft ceilings, an abundance of storage, an in-unit laundry room with washer-dryer, and its own central A/C system (no building recirculated air!).
The Bancroft is a historic prewar full service co-op. The building features concierge, doorman service, bike/storage space, an attended lobby, and laundry. It is pet friendly and pied-a-terres are allowed. Local public transportation includes the B/C and the 1/2/3 subway lines; and bus stops both N/S and E/W on the corner. Neighborhood groceries are Trader Joe's, Fairway, and Citarella's. Coffee shops, chic clothiers, top-rated restaurants and bars abound. The best of classic New York and modern living amenities.
