From the original listing · Realtor.comShow

Welcome to Apartment 12E at 185 West End Avenue, a move-in ready unit with well-maintained finishes and thoughtful updates throughout. The desirable E-line is Lincoln Towers' most generous standard studio layout, offering a larger living space and entry gallery and additional closet space. Four large windows come with an unobstructed east-facing view that keeps the home filled with natural light throughout the day. Light-beige curtains soften the space and create a warm, serene atmosphere at night. The home's spacious feel is apparent from the moment you enter. The light grey-blue living room provides ample space to create distinct living, dining, and work-from-home areas, with plenty of room left over for entertaining friends and family. The sleeping alcove comfortably accommodates a queen, or even king bed with nightstands on both sides. Storage is another standout feature, with four closets in total: one walk-in closet (with updated hanging racks and baskets), two large double-door closets, and a generously sized storage/linen closet. The kitchen is equally practical, with full-length counter space along both sides (another unique component of the E-line layout), abundant room for preparation and storage, and full-size appliances. Additional details include a brand-new through-wall air-conditioning unit, beautifully maintained hardwood floors, and elegant crown and baseboard molding throughout. The combination of light, scale, storage, and flexibility makes Apartment 12E an unusually comfortable home for everyday living, working from home, and hosting guests. Monthly maintenance includes all utilities, including the electricity used to operate the air conditioner. Residents separately choose and pay for their preferred internet and cable service, with Verizon Fios, Spectrum, and Astound among the providers available at the building. 185 West End Avenue is a full-service cooperative within the highly sought-after Lincoln Towers community, offering a 24-hour doorman and concierge, live-in superintendent, fitness center, children's playroom, library, package room, central laundry room, storage and bicycle facilities, and an on-site garage. Residents also enjoy access to Lincoln Towers' private, gated landscaped park, complete with lawns, playgrounds, basketball and pickleball courts, and inviting outdoor spaces in which to relax and unwind. The location places Lincoln Center, Riverside Park, Central Park, Columbus Circle, and the Upper West Side's exceptional restaurants, shopping, markets, and cultural destinations all within easy reach. Transportation is excellent, with the 1 train at 66th Street-Lincoln Center, the 1/2/3 express and local trains at 72nd Street, the B/C trains at 72nd Street and Central Park West, and numerous crosstown and north-south bus routes nearby. Financing is permitted up to 70%. There is an ongoing monthly capital assessment of $57.57 for unit 12E.
