Property Description
Charming Prewar One-Bedroom with Southern Light on a Prime Upper West Side Block
Located on a picturesque, tree-lined stretch of West 81st Street, one-bedroom home offers classic prewar charm, thoughtful updates, and beautiful natural southern light throughout.
A gracious entry hallway leads to a proper foyer, creating excellent separation between the living and sleeping areas - an uncommon and highly desirable layout for a home of this size. The inviting living room is bright and airy, enhanced by high beamed ceilings, hardwood floors, and warm southern exposure.
The windowed kitchen has been tastefully updated with stainless steel appliances and marble countertops, and includes a breakfast bar with seating for two. The kitchen opens seamlessly to the living area, offering a modern flow ideal for everyday living and entertaining.
The spacious bedroom features two closets and comfortably accommodates a variety of furniture layouts. The bathroom retains its original prewar character, adding to the home's timeless appeal.
Move-in condition and most of the home furnishings, if desired, are available for an extra cost.
170 West 81st Street is an intimate and elegant 45-unit cooperative built in 1926, with a live-in superintendent, a beautifully maintained Art Deco lobby, a laundry room in the basement, bike storage and storage cages (fee). Ideally situated in the heart of the Upper West Side, just moments from Central Park, public transportation, and the neighborhood's best dining and shopping.
Pied-à-terres, gifts, co-purchases and parents buying for children are permitted on a case-by-case basis, with Board approval. Pets are welcome. W/D permitted with Board approval.
Flip Tax of 2%: 1% Paid by Seller and 1% paid by Buyer.
