Description

Renovated Split Two-Bedroom on a Quintessential Upper West Side Block Set on a quaint tree-lined stretch of West 87th Street, this renovated split two-bedroom offers a thoughtful layout, excellent light, and the charm of classic Upper West Side living just moments from Central Park. Perched on the top floor, Residence 53 enjoys a peaceful, sun-filled setting. A gracious entry hall with a large utility closet opens into a bright and inviting living and dining area, where hardwood floors, high ceilings, and multiple exposures create an airy sense of space. The windowed renovated kitchen features stainless steel appliances, updated countertops, generous cabinetry, and a cheerful tiled backsplash. The oversized primary bedroom easily accommodates a king-size bed and includes two large closets, while the split-bedroom layout provides excellent separation and privacy. At the opposite end of the apartment, the second bedroom offers ample storage and flexible use as a bedroom (twin/full-bed), guest space, nursery, or home office. A gut-renovated bathroom, recessed lighting, and thoughtful updates throughout complete the home. 203 West 87th Street is a boutique, pet-friendly elevator cooperative with a live-in superintendent, laundry room, bike storage, general storage, and video intercom. Pied-à-terres are welcome, co-purchasing is permitted, and subletting is allowed with board approval. The location is hard to beat, with Central Park nearby and beloved neighborhood destinations including Barney Greengrass, Jacob's Pickles, Tasca, La Farine Pâtisserie et Café, and Il Gusto Wine Bar all within easy reach. Convenient access to the 1, B, and C trains makes getting around the city effortless. Residence 53 combines a smart layout, renovated interiors, and an exceptional Upper West Side location in a home that feels both comfortable and quintessential New York.

Broker Commission Disclosure: Broker commissions are not set by law and are fully negotiable.

How working with a buyer's agent works: I work for you, not the seller. Before I show you anything, New York brokerage rules ask us to put that in writing: an agreement and a disclosure that say I work for you and negotiate on your behalf. The agreement is non-exclusive: you can work with other agents, it runs for a short fixed term we agree on, and you can end it with a note. You may attend open houses independently without an agreement. Read how it works
