Sun-Flooded Corner 2BR in a Prewar Doorman Co-op. Fully Renovated. Truly Move-In Ready.

Rarely available and impeccably renovated, this mint condition 2 bedroom, 1.5 bath corner home sits high above West 87th and Amsterdam, where oversized windows facing west and north pour light into every room all day long. Open views up Amsterdam Avenue, prewar bones, and a renovation where no expense was spared and no detail overlooked. This is the one buyers wait years for.

The gracious entry opens to a bright, open concept living, dining and kitchen space anchored by white oak floors with added sound insulation and a graceful prewar archway. The chef’s kitchen features a Wolf range with externally vented hood, SubZero refrigerator with ice maker and water dispenser, ultra-quiet KitchenAid dishwasher, Raven Caesarstone counters and white marble backsplash. A roomy breakfast bar offers casual dining, flanked by temperature-controlled wine storage and a coffee bar, both with lit glass-front cabinetry. Through a handsome pocket door, a windowed laundry room with stacked Miele washer and dryer sits beside a guest powder room.

The corner primary bedroom catches both western and northern light, and both bedrooms feature new custom closets. In total, six custom closets including two walk-ins, a true rarity in a 1918 building. The main bath is finished with marble floors, Toto fixtures and a glass-enclosed tub and shower.

Every system has been upgraded: new electrical panel and wiring, high speed internet cabling in every room, new gas risers, new through-wall AC with custom covers, Hunter Douglas window treatments and designer lighting including Jonathan Adler. Nothing to do but unpack.

The full-service co-op offers 24-hour door staff, resident manager, landscaped roof deck, brand new playroom, new gym, bike room and storage for rent. Pets, pieds–terre and subletting allowed with board approval. Perfectly positioned between Central Park and Riverside Park, one block from the 86th Street express subway, with Barney Greengrass, Hudson & Charles and Trader Joe’s around the corner.
