Description

This spacious and sunny two bedroom, one and a half bath pre-war home is located on a quiet stretch of West 86th Street between West End Avenue and Riverside Drive. A welcoming foyer leads to an oversized 20'5" x 19'7" south-facing living/dining room with custom built-in book cases and pretty tree top views over West 86th Street. The windowed, open kitchen features stainless steel appliances (gas range, microwave, refrigerator, and dishwasher), granite countertops, a breakfast bar with storage below, and plenty of cabinetry. The primary bedroom has the same cheerful tree top views as the living/dining room and the second bedroom is pin drop quiet. Both bathrooms are BIG and RENOVATED. There is lots of closet space throughout the apartment. Maintenance is only $1,945.87 per month. Built in 1920, 309 West 86th Street is a 26-unit pre-war elevator co-op with only 2 units per floor. Amenities include shared hallway closet storage on each floor, a part-time superintendent, video intercom, laundry room, and bike storage. The lobby is being redesigned/renovated this summer: all new package room, mailboxes, furniture, lighting fixtures, painting and wallpapering. The lobby assessment will be fully paid by the seller. The co-op's underlying mortgage will be fully paid in February 2023. There is no flip tax. The co-op is pet-friendly and located moments from Riverside Park and the 1 subway and M86 crosstown bus at Broadway/W 86 Street. Pied-a-terres are not permitted.
