About This Property
Beautifully Renovated South-Facing One-Bedroom with Open Kitchen and Skyline Views in the Heart of Lincoln Square
Welcome to Apartment 12Z at Lincoln Terrace, a beautifully renovated, south-facing one-bedroom residence offering abundant natural light, generous living space, and an exceptional Upper West Side location just moments from Lincoln Center.
The inviting living room offers ample space for comfortable everyday living and entertaining, with room for a dedicated dining area. Oversized windows flood the home with natural southern light while framing beautiful city and skyline views.
The thoughtfully renovated open kitchen flows seamlessly into the living and dining areas and features sleek white cabinetry, quartz countertops, stainless steel appliances, and a breakfast bar with seating. Combining contemporary design with everyday functionality, the space is equally suited for casual dining and entertaining.
The generously proportioned bedroom also enjoys southern exposure, comfortably accommodates a king-size bed, and offers excellent closet space. The renovated bathroom features a glass-enclosed shower and modern fixtures. Beautiful oak hardwood flooring, motorized window shades, recessed lighting, and ample storage throughout add warmth, comfort, and refinement to the home.
Lincoln Terrace is a full-service cooperative offering a 24-hour doorman, live-in superintendent, fitness center, children's playroom, laundry facilities, package room, bicycle storage, additional storage, and an on-site parking garage. The building is pet-friendly and permits pied-à-terre ownership, subject to board approval.
Ideally situated in the heart of Lincoln Square, the residence is moments from Lincoln Center, Central Park, Columbus Circle, and an exceptional selection of restaurants, cafés, shopping, and cultural destinations. The nearby 1 train at 66th Street provides convenient access throughout Manhattan.
A wonderful opportunity to own a beautifully renovated, sun-filled home combining modern finishes, generous proportions, skyline views, and one of Manhattan's most desirable locations.

Agent's Note
From Curtis Bain. Details about the apartment are drawn from the listing information provided through RLS by R New York.
The open kitchen at 12-Z has quartz countertops, stainless steel appliances and a breakfast bar with seating, and it opens into the living room and the dining area. That gives the home a connected feel, and you can cook while someone is sitting in the room. The trade-off is that cooking, dining and lounging share one space, so there's less separation between them.
The bedroom also faces south, and the listing says it comfortably fits a king-size bed. Motorized shades on the windows give you direct control over the light, which I like in a room that gets this much sun. With an open horizon, a south-facing window gets about 8.5 hours of direct sun on the winter solstice and about 6.1 hours on the summer solstice, though nearby buildings can block some of it.
The building is an elevator cooperative from 1962 with 21 stories and 378 units. A 24-hour doorman and a live-in superintendent staff the lobby, and residents can use a gym, laundry facilities and an on-site garage for parking. There's also a package room, bicycle storage and extra storage for residents. Pets are allowed, and the listing notes that pied-a-terre ownership is permitted subject to board approval. It also states financing of up to 75% and a 2% flip tax payable by the purchaser.
The 66 St-Lincoln Center station on the 1 train is about 3 minutes on foot, and Damrosch Park is about 4 minutes away. Central Park is about 9 minutes away and Riverside Park South about 8. For groceries, Morton Williams is about 3 minutes away, and Strand Bookstore is about 4 minutes on foot.
