Live amongst the treetops in this gracious move-in-ready 2-bedroom, 2-bathroom pre-war classic moments from Riverside Park and all the wonderful aspects of the Upper West Side lifestyle.

Located in a charming, boutique-scaled prewar doorman building, the elevator opens to an intimate landing: you enter via an elegant vestibule that leads to the generously proportioned south-facing living room. Gleaming herringbone wood floors create the perfect canvas for any style of furnishings. The beautifully appointed, renovated kitchen features crisp white cabinetry, marble counters, a stainless Capital gas range, Bosch dishwasher and fridge.

The corner primary bedroom with its windowed en-suite bathroom also faces south with sunny treetop exposures. A second bedroom and bathroom – also with a window – complete this outstanding layout.

Residents enjoy a suite of amenities including a part-time doorman (8 am – midnight, 7 days a week), bike room, elevator and laundry room. Pets are welcome. The co-op allows guarantors and co-purchasing on a case-by-case basis, and there is a 2% flip tax paid by the buyer. High-speed internet is available through Verizon Fios and Spectrum. Residents enjoy quick access to Riverside Park, the West 87th Street dog run, and Central Park just a few blocks away. The neighborhood is rich with cultural destinations such as Lincoln Center, the Museum of Natural History, and the Childrens Museum of Manhattan, as well as restaurants, boutiques and beloved food markets including Zabars, Citarella, Fairway, and The West Side Market. Transportation is effortless: the 1/2/3 subway lines (a mere block away), the M86 crosstown bus, and easy access to the West Side Highway.

Flip Tax: 2% of the purchase price paid by the purchaser
Assessment: $208.96/month assessment through January 2029
