Sun Flooded Studio with Soaring 10'6" Ceilings & Lush Treetop Views
Welcome to Apartment 22C, a sun-drenched and voluminous prewar studio with wonderfully high 10'6" ceilings and huge, oversized windows, offering the perfect space to make your next home base. Freshly painted, with refinished original blonde hardwood floors, the apartment retains its old-world character through original moldings and details, while the owner has lovingly upgraded the residence with personal touches. Enjoy tranquil views of lush greenery and wonderful privacy in this tucked-away studio behind the trees-all while the excitement of Broadway, Central Park, and Lincoln Center is just outside your front door!
An open kitchen with a breakfast island and bar stools makes food prep and entertaining guests easy. There is ample space for a dinette table and chairs, a queen- or king-size bed, and a sitting area to lounge, read a book, or watch TV. A new ceiling fan with light has also recently been added. The tiled bathroom, finished in a neutral color palette, includes a reglazed tub and chrome shower fixtures, leaving room for your own personalization.
The uniquely tall ceiling height offers the possibility of lofting a sleeping or storage area above the kitchen and/or bathroom-as some studios in the building have done-creating additional usable space while maximizing the apartment's generous footprint. A washer/dryer is permitted with Board approval, and a laundry room is also available in the basement.
The Lincoln Spencer is a distinguished historic Beaux-Arts building wrapping the corner of Broadway and West 69th Street. A full-time doorman greets owners and guests from the building's entrance on the quaint residential side street between Columbus Avenue and Broadway, a block known for its exemplary block association. With a resident manager, porter, and full staff, residents enjoy attentive service and comfort. An updated lobby, elevators, and hallways make the building feel fresh and welcoming. Express transportation and an exceptional array of restaurants, cafés, shopping, culture, and neighborhood conveniences abound.
Pied-à-terres are welcome, as are parents purchasing with adult children. Subletting is unlimited after a five-year primary residency requirement, subject to Board package and interview approval. There is a 2% flip tax payable by the buyer, as well as an ongoing monthly assessment of $100.62 to keep the building financials healthy.
Make this apartment yours for less than it would cost to rent! With just 20% down permitted, estimated monthly costs with 80% financing would total approximately $3,100 per month, compared with neighborhood studio rents of around $3,500 per month. Enjoy the best of the Upper West Side and Lincoln Square-with gracious proportions, classic character, and exceptional value!
