Description
This masterful combination of three apartments at the Bancroft brings together the most essential elements of apartment living. Situated on the 15th floor high above West 72nd Street, light pours in throughout the day through three distinct exposures gazing out to The Dakota, San Remo and the midtown skyline. Entering the Great Room through the Gallery, the eye is immediately drawn to over 40 feet of open living space and airy views of city and sky. Thoughtfully located pocket doors create rooms that naturally flow into one another allowing for the daily interplay of light throughout the home. With 4 to 5 bedrooms, four with en-suite bathrooms, this home offers the ultimate in versatility and finishing for today's most exacting purchaser. No detail has been overlooked or expense spared in the finishes, particularly with respect to custom millwork. Built in cabinetry pairs white oak and white corian to cohesively connect all of the spaces. The kitchen is equipped with a Viking stove and range hood, Liebherr refrigerator, and Miele dishwasher and washer dryer. The apartment has central air conditioning with supplemental built-in units to ensure maximum temperature control. The Bancroft is a 17 story cooperative on the prestigious West 72nd Street park block with a direct entrance to Central Park and Strawberry Fields. Pets and pied-e-terre purchases are permitted. Shown by appointment only.
