Situated in the storied 1925 Franconia Apartments on West 72nd Street one half block from Central Park West is this luxuriously open and inviting three bedroom, three and one half bathroom home in truly excellent, move-in condition. From its gleaming chocolate stained solid oak floors, lofty ceilings, oversized picture windows stretching along West 72nd Street that frame bright, cheerful city views to its exquisitely renovated kitchen and baths, including a rare powder room, this one of a kind home has so much to offer.

From the European fixtures and fittings to the hand crafted solid closet doors, this is a home that feels at once solid, impeccably designed and practical for today's lifestyle. Three large bedrooms, each with en-suite baths and non-contiguous, offer great space and privacy.
