Welcome to Residence 409 at 170 West 74th Street, a charming and spacious one-bedroom home where classic prewar character meets exceptional flexibility.
Quiet and inviting, the apartment features beautiful original beamed ceilings, hardwood floors and doors, and a gracious layout with room for both living and dining. The galley kitchen offers ample cabinetry, while the windowed bathroom adds another sought-after prewar feature. Generous closet space, including a large walk-in closet, provides exceptional storage.
Ideal as a primary residence, Manhattan pied-à-terre (with no pied-à-terre tax), or investment property, Residence 409 offers rare flexibility. The cooperative permits unrestricted subletting from day one, a significant advantage for investors. A long-term tenant is currently in place and would be happy to stay, or the apartment can be delivered for personal use.
170 West 74th Street is a well-established prewar cooperative with a full-time doorman, elevator, laundry room, live-in superintendent, and porter. Flexible policies also permit pied-à-terres, co-purchasing, guarantors, and parents purchasing for children.
Ideally located at the corner of West 74th Street and Amsterdam Avenue, the building puts Central Park, Riverside Park, neighborhood restaurants and cafés, shopping, markets, and multiple subway lines within easy reach.
With timeless prewar character, a prime Upper West Side location, and the rare flexibility to live in it, use it as a Manhattan escape, or rent it from day one, Residence 409 offers an increasingly hard-to-find opportunity.
