Step into timeless pre-war elegance with this charming one-bedroom apartment, perfectly positioned on a prime Central Park block in the heart of the Upper West Side. Nestled in a boutique elevator cooperative, this intimate building offers the best of convenience and comfort, featuring a live-in superintendent, laundry facilities, and bike storage for effortless city living.

Inside, the south-facing living room gets plenty of natural light, creating a warm and inviting atmosphere. A built-in desk and shelving make it ideal for working from home or curating your favorite books and treasures. The spacious and bright north-facing bedroom provides a peaceful retreat, with its corner view overlooking tree-lined Columbus Avenue—a perfect balance of the neighborhood’s vibrant energy and tranquil charm.

The windowed kitchen is a standout, boasting sleek granite countertops that blend style with practicality, making meal prep an absolute delight. The bathroom, complete with its own window, invites soft natural light, creating an airy and refreshing space to start or end your day.

Another noteworthy perk? This building allows subletting with board approval after just one year of residency, offering flexibility that’s hard to come by.

Beyond your front door, you’re steps from Central Park’s iconic landscapes and countless adventures, whether it’s morning jogs, lazy afternoons, or seasonal festivals. And when it’s time to hit the town, you’ll find yourself surrounded by renowned dining spots, cultural institutions, and boutique shopping—all within a stone’s throw.

Classic pre-war charm, an unbeatable location, and thoughtful details that make all the difference—this is more than just an apartment—it’s your next home.
