Property Description for 12 West 72nd Street, 16-F

ZERO MAINTENANCE FOR ONE YEAR! SELLER TO PAY ONE YEAR OF MAINTENANCE AT CLOSING

Live practically INSIDE Central Park in this white-glove building. Rub elbows with The Dakota and The Majestic, your direct neighbors!


This gracious & spacious three bedroom apartment- with fantastic city views and TONS of natural light- is just one building in from Central Park. Stunning & dramatic, open long-range views to downtown from its southern-facing windows, the charming & classic living room gets an abundance of natural light all day long. The well-appointed and large kitchen, with breakfast bar/counter seating, has high-end stainless steel appliances and a large pantry. The southern-facing, sun-drenched, primary bedroom enjoys a windowed ensuite bath and walk-in closet. The second bedroom is oversized, has 2 large closets, and features an ensuite bath. The third bedroom is also quite spacious, easily accommodating a king sized bed. Absolutely gorgeous herringbone hardwood floors throughout the apartment. In-unit washer/dryers permitted with board approval. Through-wall air conditioning in the living room and 3rd bedroom.


The Oliver Cromwell is a landmarked, full service, pre war treasure, built in 1927 by esteemed architect Emery Roth (whose buildings also include the famed El Dorado, Beresford, & San Remo). Noted for its historic cupola, belltower and balustrades, the Oliver Cromwell's contribution to the celebrated CPW skyline cannot be overstated. This is one of only a handful of select buildings on CPW that rises above 30 stories.


The 24-hour staffed door sets the tone for gracious, easy living, along with a live-in resident manager, warm & friendly staff, laundry room, bike & storage rooms. Located adjacent to the famous Strawberry Fields entrance to Central Park and directly across from The Dakota. The famed Ribbon restaurant is next door- just like having room service! The M72 bus stop and B&C train entrance are just down the block- approx 50 yards away. This is a gem of an apartment in a truly special building, in an incredible block. 75% financing permitted, pet and pied-a-terre friendly. Please note the seller has agreed to pay the entire assessment of $584.05 per month that is in place for facade work through December of 2026. Please also note NO FLIP TAX! That's approximately a $1,663 reduction in maintenance per month for the first 2 years of ownership!

Central Park West | Manhattan

Quick Profile

Home to some of New York City’s most famous buildings like The Dakota, with its enchanting architecture, and the equally impressive San Remo just a couple streets away, Central Park West is one of the most eye-popping neighborhoods to live in. 

It is historically renowned for its blending of architecture and residential living. So much so, that it earned a listing on the National Register of Historic Places in 1982. It is thought to have some of the most diverse and beautiful skylines in all of New York and has drawn celebrity residents for decades

If world-class architecture isn’t enough for you, there are plenty of warm brownstones to be found as well. There is so much to do in Central Park West, the most obvious being in the name of the neighborhood itself. With Central Park running the length of one of its borders, there’s easy access to the park and all its wonders, running trails, row boats, and bridges. If you prefer the indoors, the American Museum of Natural History is at your service. 

There are few places in the world that can match Central Park West’s varied combination of urban and residential charm, elegance, and spirit.
