Just moments from Central Park and Lincoln Center, the apartment spans approximately 1,500 square feet with three bedrooms and three full bathrooms, all thoughtfully laid out for both everyday living and entertaining. High beam ceilings, classic prewar details, refinished hardwood floors, and open city views create an immediate sense of warmth and scale, while an abundance of sunlight fills the home throughout the day.

The massive living and dining area is a standout feature, offering exceptional flexibility for gatherings, quiet evenings at home, or working remotely. A brand-new open kitchen anchors the space, featuring all new appliances and a clean, modern design that seamlessly integrates with the living area. Each bedroom is generously sized, with ample storage and privacy, and all bathrooms have been tastefully updated to reflect the home’s refined yet comfortable aesthetic.

Located in a full-service building with a professional staff, this residence offers both convenience and long-term value. Pied-à-terre ownership is permitted, and subletting is allowed after one year of residency (up to three out of five years). The building is moments from multiple subway lines, renowned Upper West Side restaurants, and just a few blocks from Trader Joe’s and Fairway—placing the very best of Manhattan right outside your door. This is a rare opportunity to own a turnkey, light-filled home in one of New York City’s most enduring neighborhoods.
