Experience urban luxury in the heart of prime Lincoln Square! This renovated, loft-like 2-bed (convertible 3BR), 3.5-bath triplex walk-up (2 FLIGHTS) townhouse co-op seamlessly blends modern sophistication with classic charm. Situated on a tree-lined cul-de-sac, this landmarked co-op brownstone is a must see. Built in the 1890's, the building is one of eight 5-story houses built on 71st street, designed in the Renaissance Revival style, with Venetian influences. Filled with history, the home was previously owned by famous author, Lawrence Sanders. The apartment features 5 fireplaces, including one on the private terrace. The living area boasts gorgeous windows looking out to 71st Steet and custom built-ins, creating the perfect ambiance. The chef's kitchen, featuring a La Cornue gas range, invites gourmet inspiration and casual gatherings.
The 10-foot ceilings, hand-scraped hardwood floors throughout and a tempered glass staircase add modern flair. The primary suite on the lower level offers opulence with gorgeous stained-glass windows, while the upper level provides a versatile second primary bedroom or entertaining room with an en-suite bathroom. A standout feature is the terrace with outdoor TV. Additional comforts include a third bedroom with 3rd full bathroom and in-unit W/D. Owners enjoy low maintenance fees relative to other NYC co-ops and with just 3 co-op owners, the building operates much like a condominium. Unbeatable location near Riverside Park and easy access to the 1/2/3 subway at 72nd Street.
