Description

NEW TO THE MARKET! Location and the lowest maintenance around are just two of the reasons to snap up this north-facing studio in a prewar doorman building on Manhattan's Upper West Side. The spacious living area has open exposures, high beamed ceilings and original hardwood floors which are in excellent condition. There's space for not one, but two couches, a queen-sized bed and dresser, dining table and stools, entry console and even room for a peloton! A pantry closet with custom shelving and two hallway closets offer substantial storage space. The bathroom is black and white tiled with a deep original tub. The low $669 monthly maintenance can't be beat. Architecturally rich with prewar charm and detail, the 15-story building dates from 1926. Established as a co-op since 1984, the property is well maintained by attentive staff including a full-time doorman and Resident Manager. A magnificent landscaped common roof deck provides residents with a private oasis with stunning unobstructed city, park and river views. The building lobby and laundry room have been recently renovated. The location is equidistant between Central Park and Riverside Park, with multiple nearby options for dining and retail. Trader Joe's is around the corner. Commuting is simple with easy access to the Express 1/2/3, B/C lines and crosstown bus. The co-op permits up to 75% financing, pets, pieds--terre and guarantors. Seize this opportunity!
