1060 Park Ave, 12-E

From the moment you enter 1060 Park Avenue’s elegant lobby bedecked with chandeliers and fresh flowers to the semi-private elevator landing and gracious natural flow of Apartment 12E, the desirability of this Carnegie Hill pre-war co-op is apparent. Apartment 12E is a warm and inviting one bedroom home (convertible to two) replete with coveted pre-war details and tasteful improvements. Sun-kissed and cheerful, its generously-proportioned rooms are complemented by 9’9” high beamed ceilings, huge south-facing windows, beautiful oak flooring, and a wealth of closet space. A proper entry hall and foyer welcomes you into an expansive living area consisting of a living room, dining room, and kitchen. The spacious living room with original herringbone floors is bathed in bright southern light from three large windows overlooking 87th Street. Anchored by a gas fireplace, the custom mantle and built-in cabinetry provide a seamless blend of beauty and practicality. Off the living room is a chandeliered dining space with an oversized north facing window. Should you desire a second bedroom, the layout naturally lends itself to that change. The windowed U-shaped kitchen (with double-hinged swinging door) offers loads of storage and workspace. Renovated with quality glass-front and wood cabinets, granite countertops, full-size appliances, and recessed lighting, it remains move-in ready, but could easily be updated for a more current look. The bedroom wing is both private sanctuary and guest friendly. Sunlight bathes the serene room, which features wall sconces and an overhead light with ceiling fan. A custom built-in dresser and overhead cabinets enhance the storage space already provided by a large closet. In the hallway outside, you’ll find a huge walk-in closet and windowed bathroom, renovated in classic white and navy. A pedestal sink, subway tiles, and octagon mosaic floor retain its pre-war character, while two medicine cabinets offer more than enough space to house your essentials. Designed by renowned architect James Carpenter in 1924, 1060 Park Avenue is a distinguished dark brick building on the Upper East Side of Manhattan. Impeccably run, this cooperative offers attentive white-glove service from its 24/7 doormen, staff, and resident manager. Building amenities include storage units available for rent (wait list), bike storage, and a central laundry room. For car owners, there is a garage conveniently located next door. The amazing location of this home puts you in close proximity to Central Park, 5th Avenue’s Museum Mile, the 92nd Street Y, excellent public transportation options, and the huge variety of shops and restaurants in the neighborhood. The building welcomes pets and pied-a-terre buyers. Washer/dryer installation is also permitted with board approval. A 50% financing limit and 2.5% flip tax apply.
