Description

WELCOME HOME to a peaceful, "high floor" studio on one of the Upper West Side's most coveted blocks.

LIVING SPACE

A roomy open-living layout masterfully converts from a living room to a bedroom, thanks to a very useful built-in Murphy bed. This space is perfect for working, living, and entertaining - all in one.

The kitchen has ample storage and discreetly tucks away when not in use. The bathroom is timeless and classic, complete with soaking tub, porcelain tiles and pedestal sink. Throughout this pre-war home you will enjoy 9 1/2 foot ceilings, new solid oak flooring and three large closets for all of your storage needs.

THE BUILDING

The Clifton House, located on one of the premier museum blocks of the Upper West Side, is beautifully maintained pre-war coop with a 24-hour doorman, live-in Resident Manager, newly renovated hallways and central laundry, bike room, storage (for a small monthly fee) and a gorgeous landscaped roof deck complete with herb and flower gardens, panoramic city views, and spectacular sunsets. Utilities (gas & electric) are included in the monthly maintenance.

THE NEIGHBORHOOD

Located in the sweet spot of the Upper West Side, this home is convenient to the best shopping and recreation the area has to offer. Just half a block away from the Museum of Natural History and equidistant between Central and Riverside Parks. You'll love being so close to multiple bus routes and the B, C & 1, 2 & 3 subway lines. Pet friendly, no flip tax, 75% financing permitted. Subletting and pieds-a-terre permitted with board approval.

This is a rare opportunity to own in a stellar building and location!
