Description
Your own private haven minutes from Central Park is waiting! This pin drop quiet home will make the perfect permanent residence or pied-a-terre...
When you enter 5L, a proper foyer greets you in. You hang your coat in the closet and relaxation starts now. You make your way to the eat-in kitchen where you drop off the best avocado toast in town or maybe a delicious pastry for later. Daily Provisions, Da Capo and Le Pain Quotidien are just around the corner.
This move-in ready oversize alcove studio has a very desirable layout that can be anything you want. The spacious alcove dining area has been seamlessly converted to a bedroom many times in that line. And behind gracious Shogi doors is an enormous walk in closet that is the ultimate bonus room. It could be an inspiring home office, a zen meditation sanctuary or a serene yoga room. The unit faces South and has wonderful pre-war details (hardwood floors throughout, beamed ceilings, giant windows), as well as many modern features: a kitchen with granite countertops and stainless appliances; through the wall A/C; custom window treatments; a windowed bath with a fabulous deep soaking tub. The very desirable current open concept is perfect for entertaining.
Life is good at 12 E 97th. The neighborhood offers the finest dining, museums and shopping, as well as endless public transportation options near by to get you anywhere you need to be. Pets are welcome, and yours will be the luckiest one of all with Central Park as your backyard and a pet spa next door! This impeccably maintained co-op provides many amenities for your convenience: a spacious state of the art laundry room, free bike storage and designated storage for each shareholder at no charge; a shared library. With Board approval, pied-a-terres are allowed. The installation of a washer/dryer in the unit will also be considered. 75% financing is permitted and there is no flip tax. There is a current assessment of $124.16 until 12/26.
Schedule your private showing today, and make 2026 the year to remember.
