Prewar One-Bedroom with Southern Light on a Prime Upper West Side Block
Located on a picturesque, tree-lined stretch of West 81st Street, this one-bedroom home offers classic prewar charm, thoughtful updates, and beautiful natural southern light throughout.
A gracious entry hallway leads to a proper foyer, creating excellent separation between the living and sleeping areas – an uncommon and highly desirable layout for a home of this size.

The spacious bedroom features two closets and comfortably accommodates a variety of furniture layouts. The bathroom retains its original prewar character, adding to the home’s timeless appeal.
Move-in condition and most of the home furnishings, if desired, are available for an extra cost.
