...Perched on the top floor, this one-bedroom, one-bathroom co-op offers a compelling blend of classic architecture and thoughtful modern refinement, an elegant residence defined by light, volume, and outlook.
With coveted southwestern exposure, the home is bathed in natural light throughout the day, culminating in open sky views that feel both cinematic and distinctly New York. The vista, punctuated by iconic water towers and drifting winter steam, evokes a certain Parisian romance, reminiscent of the Moulin Rouge, while also offering a direct visual connection to the magnificent Cathedral of St. John the Divine.
Inside, prewar character is beautifully preserved and enhanced. High ceilings, picture rails, and refinished hardwood floors create a timeless backdrop, while modern updates ensure comfort and functionality. The separate, windowed kitchen is both practical and polished, featuring stainless steel appliances, marble countertops, and generous storage. The bathroom maintains classic finishes, and a custom walk-in closet adds a level of convenience rarely found in homes of this scale. The layout offers flexibility, with potential to reconfigure into a two-bedroom, an increasingly valuable option in today’s market.
The building itself reflects a high level of stewardship. A part-time doorman (2pm –midnight, seven days a week), on-site laundry, and storage (via waitlist) provide essential services, while the co-op board is notably experienced, financially prudent, and forward-thinking. Significant capital improvements, including a new elevator, solar-paneled roof, façade restoration, lobby renovation, and refreshed hallways, have all been completed without assessment, underscoring the building’s strong financial position. Subletting is permitted after two years with no stated cap, and the building is pet-friendly.
The location is, simply put, exceptional. Directly across from Central Park, with the B and C trains on the corner and the 2 and 3 lines just five minutes away, the residence offers seamless access to both nature and the entirety of Manhattan. A refined home with architectural integrity, luminous exposures, and enduring value, This is Upper West Side living at its most compelling.
