Major Price Improvement! One-of-a-Kind Loft-Like Maisonette 1-Bedroom Residence on the Upper West Side. Character. Scale. Light. This extraordinary one-bedroom residence at 304 West 88th Street offers a rare sense of volume and architectural drama, beautifully paired with the timeless character of a classic Upper West Side home. From the moment you enter, soaring double-height ceilings and oversized north-facing windows create an exceptional sense of space and light. Original exposed brick adds warmth and texture, while a wood-burning fireplace serves as a striking focal point-bringing together the romance of pre-war Manhattan with the comforts of modern living. A distinctive sleeping loft rises above the living space, offering remarkable versatility as a private guest area, additional living space, creative retreat, or generous storage. The thoughtfully designed kitchen is appointed with stainless steel appliances and granite countertops, while the spacious bedroom provides abundant closet space and additional storage. Beyond the residence, the setting is equally special. Nestled on a quiet, tree-lined block between Riverside Park and Central Park, this beautifully maintained four-story pre-war co-op is an intimate collection of just 20 homes-offering a sense of privacy and community rarely found in Manhattan. The building welcomes co-purchasing, guarantors, parents purchasing for children, and pieds-a-terre. Pets are welcome, and subletting is permitted with board approval. A significant capital improvement program has further enhanced the property, with upgrades to the roof, plumbing, boiler, security system, and facade, providing peace of mind and lasting value. And then there is the location: quintessential Upper West Side. With Riverside Park just moments away, Central Park nearby, and West End Avenue at your doorstep, residents enjoy effortless access to the 1, 2, and 3 subway lines, buses, Citi Bike, acclaimed restaurants, neighborhood cafes, shopping, culture, and recreation. An exceptional Manhattan home with soaring proportions, authentic character, and a sense of possibility-beautifully positioned in one of New York City's most coveted residential neighborhoods.
