Description

Turnkey renovated Upper West Side charmer with low monthlies! This beautiful floor-through prewar CONDO is located on one of the Upper West Side's prettiest blocks, just steps from the Museum of Natural History and one avenue from Central Park. The gracious living room, with 10-foot ceilings, a dining area, and custom built-in shelving, is anchored by a wood-burning fireplace. The kitchen boasts a Wolf oven with an externally vented gas range, a Sub-Zero fridge, an 80-bottle wine cellar, an island with seating and abundant storage, and expansive countertops that any cook will appreciate. Right off the kitchen you'll find a charming balcony. The south-facing bedroom is bathed in light and offers ample closet space. The luxurious travertine stone bathroom is graced by Kohler fixtures, a glass-encased shower, and heated floors. There’s also a washer and vented dryer in the unit. Classic features like base and crown molding, strip hardwood floors, arched doorways, and staircases that lead into the living room are complemented by high-end modern finishes and fixtures throughout. The location is impossible to beat. Zabar’s, the shops and cafés of Columbus and Amsterdam Avenues, and the Sunday market by the museum are all a short walk away. The B and C trains at 81st Street and the 1 at 79th and Broadway put the rest of the city within easy reach. In 1890, architect and builder Joseph Turner put up a row of Renaissance Revival brownstones on West 78th Street. More than 130 years later and now part of the Upper West Side Historic District, No. 105 retains the grace of that era, and this 1 bedroom/1bathroom residence is a quiet, light-filled place to enjoy it.

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
