Listing Notes
Residence 12C is the only two bedroom home of its kind in the building, and is being offered for sale for the very first time. A wall of west-facing windows floods the home with natural light, creating a warm and inviting atmosphere all day long. The newly renovated, generously sized Porcelanosa kitchen blends beauty and functionality, offering exceptional storage and expansive counter space. Outfitted with premium stainless steel appliances - including Bosch, Gaggenau, and Thermador, it also features a discreet under-counter wine cooler. A newly installed laundry room, complete with a sink and a large-capacity Bosch washer and dryer, adds a level of convenience perfectly suited to modern living. Both windowed bathrooms remain in original, yet excellent condition, reflecting timeless charm and classic elegance. Prewar details are beautifully preserved throughout, including hardwood oak floors, base moldings, and high beamed ceilings, adding character and elegance to every room. Beautifully designed in 1931 by the prominent New York architectural firm Sugarman & Berger - best known for the iconic Art Deco New Yorker Hotel - this well-established, financially sound cooperative is ideally situated in a charming residential neighborhood. The area is rich with boutiques, gourmet specialty shops, fine dining, and cultural institutions. Perfectly positioned between the tranquil East River Promenade and Central Park, the building also offers exceptional convenience, with the 2nd Avenue (Q line) subway and crosstown M79 bus just moments from your door. Pied-a-terres and co-purchasing are welcome, and pets are allowed (dogs under 30 pounds). Maintenance fees conveniently cover both electricity and gas. $528/month assessment for capital improvements through 12/2026 paid by seller.
