Description

Location, light and layout are the hallmarks of this comfortable top floor residence at The Central Condominium, a relaxed full-service building positioned right in the heart of the Upper West Side! A spacious entrance foyer with coat closet leads to a bright Living/Dining room with high beamed ceilings, beautiful hardwood floors, a wall of custom built-ins and bright exposures through a wall of oversized windows. The thoughtfully-designed renovated kitchen with center island is open to the entertaining area and features deep granite countertops, abundant custom cabinetry and premium stainless steel appliances. The sun-filled primary bedroom can easily accommodate a king-sized bed and offers a large closet and open views through oversized windows. The pin-drop quiet guest bedroom is equally bright and offers 2 large closets. There is an overall sense of peace and tranquility throughout this home which is further enhanced by its top floor position. Built in 1900 and converted to condominium in 1990, the established prewar building is fiscally sound and responsibly managed. Building amenities include a renovated lobby with a 24-hour attendant, a live-in superintendent, a central laundry room, bike room and storage. The hallways are in the process of being refurbished and the project is paid for in-full, with completion expected by year's end. And of course, there's the prime Upper West Side location, perfectly positioned between Central Park and Riverside Park with great restaurants, cafes, shopping, and all major modes of public transportation right at your doorstep. This one checks all the boxes! Capital assessment of $268.28/month ongoing until 2030. Temporary reserve assessment of $127.00/month. Sorry, no pets allowed.
