Description

Renovated 2br with Endless Views

Move right in to this charming 2br walkup with the opportunity to purchase roof rights! This beautiful home is pin-drop quiet, boasts all day natural light and open city views, and features a separate dining room, a washing machine, and beautiful hardwood floors.

The renovated windowed kitchen is partially open to the dining room, which creates a great flow for entertaining. The kitchen features stainless steel appliances, including an induction cooktop, quartz countertops, ample cabinet space, and a washing machine, which can easily be swapped for a W/D combo. The generously proportioned, windowed bathroom is tastefully outfitted with grey tiles and a deep soaking tub with a glass enclosure. It is possible to add a second bathroom with board approval (see alternate floor plan).

The roof space above the entire apartment can be purchased for $25k. If such space is purchased, you can build it out as your own private roof deck and also install central air with the compressor on the roof. This is a recent development in the building not previously available to owners on the 5th floor.

This is a flexible and financially sound building. Maintenance has not increased over the last 5 years, the building does not have an underlying mortgage, and it owns three apartments in the building. The building features a live-in super, video intercom with remote access capabilities, bike storage, stroller parking on the first level, and storage for $25/mo. Pieds-a-terre, co-purchasing, parents buying for children, guarantors, and subletting after 2 years of ownership are permitted. Pet friendly.

Sandwiched between Central Park and Riverside Park, 170 W 89th Street, is located next door to PS166, for which it is currently zoned, and across the street from the West Side Community Garden famous for its incredible tulip display in the spring. A few blocks from Trader Joe's, Whole Foods, numerous subway lines, and incredible dining options on the UWS.
