Description

Perched on a high floor at 20 West 72nd Street, Residence 1600 offers light, scale, and an address that defines the ideal Upper West Side location. This bright studio features classic beamed ceilings and an efficient, well-proportioned layout that lives comfortably beyond its footprint. Large windows draw in steady natural light and frame open city and partial park views, creating a sense of air and perspective rarely found at this price point. The main living area accommodates distinct zones for seating, dining, and sleeping. Hardwood floors run throughout, and the ceiling height enhances the feeling of volume. The open kitchen is thoughtfully integrated, with stainless steel appliances, clean-lined cabinetry, and a modern backsplash that keeps the space streamlined and functional. The bathroom is finished in white tile with a glass-enclosed shower and contemporary vanity, offering a crisp, simple aesthetic. 20 West 72nd Street is a full-service cooperative with a 24-hour doorman, live-in superintendent, central laundry, and bike storage. The building’s position on the park block places Central Park moments from the lobby, while express transportation, neighborhood dining, and daily conveniences are all within immediate reach. Located in a full-service building with a professional staff, this residence offers both convenience and long-term value. Pied-à-terre ownership is permitted, and subletting is allowed after one year of residency (up to three out of five years). The building is moments from multiple subway lines, renowned UWS restaurants, and just a few blocks from Trader Joe’s and Fairway—placing the very best of Manhattan right outside your door. This is a rare opportunity to own a turnkey, light-filled home in one of New York City’s most enduring neighborhoods. --- Note: Agents and Broker make no listing information guarantees, representations, or warranties.
