303 West 66th Street, 5-CE

Balcony, windowed home office, beautiful new floors, sunny and south facing--303 West 66th 5CE has everything on your Manhattan apartment wish list! Real estate has always been about “location, location, location” and now with so many of us spending more time at home, it’s also about “layout, layout, layout.” This wonderful apartment has both: a super-convenient Upper West Side location and a smart layout with not one foot of wasted space. On entering this charming home you’ll immediately notice the brand new floors, fresh coat of paint throughout, and sunny south-facing open views. There’s a large coat closet to the right of the entrance and the modern galley kitchen is straight ahead. The kitchen features chic granite counters with always-on-trend stainless appliances. Cooks will love the expansive cabinet and counter space and a window that lets in light from the windowed home office. The sunny and oversized living room has enough space for all your living room furniture, plus a media center for Netflix-nights-in and a dining table. Next to the living room is a good sized windowed "bonus room" that can be used as a home office (aka “the Zoom room”), den, guest room, nursery, you name it. And off the spare room you’ll find everyone’s favorite apartment feature these days, a large balcony where you can enjoy long spring and summer evenings, crisp fall days, and catch a breath of fresh air in the winter. A hallway with two deep closets leads to the tiled bath and spacious bedroom. The bedroom has a wall of south-facing windows and is more than large enough for a king bed with night tables, dresser and even seating. A customized closet spans an entire wall. (In case you've lost count, that's four closets total! No shortage of storage space in this apartment.) This lovely home is in Lincoln Guild, a well-run full-service co-op with landscaped grounds and a convenient circular driveway leading right to the building’s front door. This exceptional building features 24-hour doorman service, a live-in superintendent, on-site management, renovated lobby, a new fitness center with wi-fi (at no additional cost to residents), a party room with catering kitchen, two laundry rooms, a bike room, state-of-the-art package room, and parking (wait listed). The coop also has strong financials and no underlying mortgage, which is why the maintenance charge is so low. And unlike in most co-ops, the low maintenance charge includes gas and electric! And if that weren’t enough, the building also offers flexible purchasing options (with board approval), including pieds-à-terre, co-purchasing, and gifting. Subletting is also permitted with board approval. Cats are allowed, but, sorry, no dogs. The Lincoln Square neighborhood is the proverbial best of two worlds, offering a relaxed residential atmosphere but still close to every urban convenience. The building is a block from the spectacular Hudson River Greenway, which runs from Battery Park City all the way to Inwood Hill Park, offering endless opportunities for outdoor activities and beautiful sunsets Transportation options are excellent with the 1 train at 66th, 2/3 express trains at 72nd, the A,B,C & D trains at Columbus Circle and crosstown busses at 66th, 72nd and 57th Streets. There’s even a Citi Bike station nearby on 64th Street. Food shopping offers something for everyone: Jubilee Market, Gourmet Garage, Trader Joe’s, Whole Foods, Morton Williams, and a twice-weekly greenmarket are all nearby. Harry’s Table by Cipriani is coming soon to Waterline Square. Restaurants of all cuisines are within blocks. And of course, wonderful Lincoln Center is just a couple of blocks away on Broadway. Balcony, bonus room, location, layout, and low maintenance--303 West 66th 5CE has it all! Check out the video tour and then email, text or call to set up an appointment to see it in person.
