This three bedroom, two and a half bath, mint-renovated apartment is located less than a block from Central Park, in the most prime location of the Upper West Side. Six expansive windows showcase a spectacular unobstructed 16th floor view south. Light streams in, illuminating - from dawn to dusk - the open-plan living and dining room, as well as a fully equipped eat-in chef's kitchen featuring Viking appliances and Carrera marble counters. The private master suite has an over-sized bedroom that accommodates a king bed and seating area. It includes his-and-hers closets as well as a marble bath, plumbed with Waterworks fixtures, dual sinks, a rainfall shower and steam system. Two additional bedrooms feature large windows and fully equipped closets. The home boasts hardwood floors throughout, an abundance of storage, central AC and an in-unit laundry room with washer-dryer.

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. Transit is straightforward - the BC subway line is half a block east; the 1,2,3 is a block and a half west; 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.
