From the original listing · Realtor.comShow

Large, newly renovated one bedroom, one bathroom apartment located in the heart of the Upper West Side. The location is exceptional for public transportation, with the 72nd Street 1 2 3 subway station just one block away. The apartment was fully renovated in recent years and features modern appliances, a sleek stand up shower, and updated lighting fixtures throughout. The layout offers great separation of space, with the bedroom situated at one end of the apartment and the living area at the other. The generously sized bedroom easily accommodates a king bed with room for multiple dressers and a large desk. The living area provides ample space for an L shaped couch, a kitchen table, and an additional work from home setup. This is a sponsor unit within a co op, with no formal co op approval process required.
