Elegant prewar рarlοr-flοor οnе‐bedroom with 12-fοοt сеilіngs and a private terrace
Set on one of the Upper West Side's prettiest tree-lined townhouse blocks, this parlor-floor residence pairs prewar grandeur with a rare private outdoor space. Theodore Roosevelt Park and the American Museum of Natural History are around the corner, and a wonderful array of restaurants and cafés on Amsterdam Avenue is just half a block away.
Up the stoop of a charming Renaissance Revival townhouse, the apartment opens to soaring 12-foot ceilings and beautifully preserved original details. The south-facing living room is generously proportioned and anchored by a dramatic decorative fireplace. Classic moldings, wainscoting, and a magnificent built-in bookcase add warmth, character, and storage.
The bedroom also faces south, looking out over the private townhouse gardens and a magnolia tree that blooms early spring. The kitchen is practical and well appointed, with granite countertops, stainless-steel appliances, a gas cook top, and a full-size dishwasher. The bathroom pairs a classic black-and-white mosaic tile floor with crisp white tile, a pedestal sink, and a full tub and shower.
The private terrace is a true extension of the living space. Overlooking lush, quiet gardens, it's an inviting setting for morning coffee, dinner outdoors, or simply unwinding among the greenery.
The building is a pet-friendly cooperative within a collection of well-preserved 19th-century townhouses on a notably peaceful block. Residents enjoy free laundry one floor below, common storage, and bicycle storage in the basement.
All of the quintessential Upper West Side is at your door: Zabar's, Orwashers Bakery, The Strand bookstore, excellent transportation, and the neighborhood's most beloved amenity of all, Central Park, where Shakespeare in the Park and the Great Lawn are just a short stroll away.
