Description

Move right in to this renovated 3/4 bedroom home on a prime Central Park block on the UWS! Enter this seamlessly combined and stunning pre-war abode via a gracious entry foyer and find a bright loft-like, double-width living/dining room overlooking 72nd Street. The oversized north-facing windows are finished with a stretch of custom-designed window seats and drawers, increasing seating and storage in their respective rooms. The just-renovated kitchen has a breakfast bar that opens into the dining space and boasts top-of-the-line appliances, including a Wolf stove, a vented hood, and copious white wood cabinetry. Presently functioning as a 3 bedroom with a den with 3 full bathrooms, the den could easily also serve as a 4th bedroom.

Two bedrooms are accessible from the living space and have a shared bathroom. The third and fourth bedrooms/den are accessible via the entry gallery and on the other side of the apartment. That area also includes a beautifully custom-designed built-in office area. The primary bedroom, which is very separate and private and adjacent to the den/ 4th bedroom, has an enormous walk-in closet and windowed bathroom.

This home is complete with a full-size washer/dryer and new wide-plank hardwood floors throughout, high ceilings, an abundance of storage, and window A/C units in each room. The Bancroft is an Italian Renaissance palazzo-style prewar full-service co-op built in 1926 and converted to a coop in 1984 with 15 floors and 142 apartments. The building features a full-time doorman and offers storage space ($300 annually), a bike room, and a laundry room. Pets, pieds-a-terre, guarantors, and co-purchasing are permitted.

Assessment of $486.25 in place through 2/22 for Local Law 11 (pointing). 1% flip tax paid by the seller. Local public transportation includes the B/C and the 1/2/3 subway lines, and bus stops both N/S and E/W are conveniently located right on the corner. Neighborhood conveniences include Trader Joe's, Fairway, Citarella, myriad coffee shops, chic clothiers, top-rated restaurants, and bars. The best of classic New York!
