All rooms overlook the street, delivering remarkable light and city views rarely found at this price point. With high ceilings, a wide entry gallery, and a 27-foot living & dining area, the home offers both grandeur and functionality. The large windowed kitchen includes generous cabinetry, stainless steel appliances, and there is an incredible massive breakfast nook off the kitchen. Originally a 4-bedroom, 3-bath, the home is currently configured as a spacious 3 bed with easy conversion back (see proposed alternate floorplan). Similar layouts in the building have traded north of $4M, presenting a clear opportunity to add meaningful value through upgrades. Monthly carrying costs of just $4,430 further enhance the value proposition-well below market averages for a home of this size and scale. Ideally located at 81st and Broadway-steps from Central Park, Riverside Park, top schools, cultural institutions, and express trains-The Avonova is a full-service pre-war condominium offering 24-hour doorman, fitness center, landscaped roof deck, children's playroom, bike room, and private storage.
