Description
Welcome to this inviting one-bedroom residence in a classic Upper West Side townhouse. This top-floor home captures the character of pre-war architecture with high ceilings, a decorative fireplace, oversized wood doors, and expansive south-facing windows that frame leafy treetop views and fill the space with natural light.
The thoughtfully updated kitchen is designed for both style and function, featuring granite countertops, contemporary white cabinetry, a gas range, dishwasher, full-size LG refrigerator, and a convenient breakfast bar. The apartment also offers two generous closets, wall-through air conditioning, and a spacious bedroom that comfortably accommodates a queen-sized bed. Being on the top floor means no neighbors living overhead – a quiet and private retreat in the city.
The building offers low maintenance and additional basement storage. Perfectly situated in the heart of Manhattan’s Upper West Side, you are just two blocks from Central Park and three blocks from Riverside Park along the Hudson River. Enjoy immediate access to acclaimed dining, cozy cafés, cultural institutions such as the American Museum of Natural History, and beloved specialty markets including Zabar’s, Barney Greengrass, Whole Foods, and Trader Joe’s. The West 86th Street Central Park Transverse provides seamless cross-town access, and the 1, B, and C subway lines are just two short blocks away at West 87th Street.
