LIGHT-FILLED UES CONVERTIBLE 3BR

First time on the market in almost 20 years but don’t get the wrong idea. Move right into this sun filled and inviting convertible 3 Bedroom Cooperative. Located at the corner of 79th street and Third Avenue, this 5 room home, offers generous space and sky views from every room. A spacious gallery leads to a separate bedroom wing, as well as a generous living and entertainment wing. West facing, the Master Bedroom includes an en-suite bath and ample closets and the large 2nd Bedroom is directly across from a full bath, which also serves as the Powder Room. Many great meals came out of this windowed kitchen thru the swinging door to the Formal Dining Room, which can also become a 3rd Bedroom or Den, while enjoying the light from the afternoon sun and open city views coming from the West facing windows across Third Avenue. In the past 5 years the elevators have been replaced, the HVAC was upgraded, laundry room renovated, and the garden was replanted. In the next few years the building will be completely renovated with a new roof, new windscreen / waterproof membrane, and thorough renovation of the facade and brickwork. The project will be funded with a three step maintenance increase over three years. There is a valet for package delivery, a sidewalk-level back entrance for strollers and wheelchairs. All deliveries are escorted to your door by building staff. Pets are welcome and Pied-a-Terres allowed (both with board approval). The location could not be better! Only 3 blocks away from: the Q and #6 trains, buses in all directions, great restaurants, food purveyors and shopping. Spectrum and FIOS are available. There is a 2% flip tax split by both buyer and seller.
