Built at the turn of the century and meticulously maintained, 140 W 69th Street, also known as Lincoln Spencer Apartments, is an elegant co-op on the corner of Broadway and 69th Street, on a landmarked, tree-lined block surrounded by brownstones. It is one of the distinct architectural New York gems constructed during the Beaux Arts Era. Close to Central Park and Lincoln Center, this dog-friendly building (one pet per unit) offers a full-time doorman and fabulous staff, live-in super, common laundry room (in addition to the in-unit W/D), and permits gifting, pied-a-terre use, co-purchasing and unlimited subletting after five years of ownership, all with board approval. The equally gorgeous and convenient location is close to the 1/2/3 and B/C trains, Trader Joe's, Whole Foods, the Beacon Theater, Columbus Circle, and a plethora of wonderful restaurants, cafes, shops, cultural institutions, and everything else this incomparable neighborhood has to offer. Don't miss the opportunity to make this one-of-a-kind apartment your new home!
