Description
Welcome home to 1A at 125 West 96th Street — a charming, oversized one-bedroom that feels more like a private home than your typical city apartment.

Just two steps down and you enter the heart of the home: a sunken living room with real volume. This is not...CHIC, SPACIOUS & SMARTLY PRICED — WELCOME TO 1A
Welcome home to 1A at 125 West 96th Street — a charming, oversized one-bedroom that feels more like a private home than your typical city apartment. Step through your OWN ENTRANCE (not on the ground floor — you’re a few steps up!) into a TRUE FOYER — a rare luxury that gives you space to drop your keys, shoes, and the stress of the outside world. Just two steps down and you enter the heart of the home: a sunken living room with real volume. This is not a squeeze-it-all-in layout — it’s got space for a full living area, dining table, and even a dedicated WORK-FROM-HOME ZONE, all without feeling cramped. Love to cook? You’ll appreciate the UPDATED WINDOWED KITCHEN with ample cabinet space and a serious bonus: an AGA DUAL-FUEL RANGE — think gas burners up top, multiple electric ovens below (including convection). It’s a statement piece for anyone who enjoys cooking at home or just wants to flex on takeout nights. The bedroom is set at the back of the apartment for peace and quiet — fits a queen bed, dresser, and still leaves room to breathe. And the bath? NEWLY RENOVATED, functional, and easy to personalize when the time is right. This well-run ELEVATOR CO-OP includes laundry, bike storage, a live-in super, and great financials. NO-DOG POLICY, so it’s a quieter, more peaceful building. Trader Joe’s, Whole Foods, Central Park, and Riverside Park are all nearby. Plus, you’re minutes from both the 1/2/3 AND B/C TRAINS, getting you downtown or across the park with ease. Ready to stop renting and start building equity in a classic Upper West Side home? Come see what makes Apartment 1A such a smart move. Showings by appointment — DM or text to schedule your tour!
