1-bedroom condo for rent in Upper West Side-Lincoln Square

High above Lincoln Square, Apartment 23H at The Alfred is a sun-filled one-bedroom with sweeping southern and southwestern views over the Midtown skyline - and a private balcony accessible from both the living room and the bedroom, a rarity in a one-bedroom residence. Oversized windows and a glass slider open the living room to the terrace, where custom built-in cabinetry includes a clever pull-down table for dining or working from home. The sleek galley kitchen pairs handleless Leicht cabinetry with dramatic black stone counters, a full-height matching backsplash, and an impressive suite of Miele appliances, with a washer and dryer discreetly concealed behind matching panels. The bedroom opens to the balcony through its own glass slider and accommodates a king-size bed, with a full wall of custom illuminated built-in closets - storage that solves the problem most Manhattan one-bedrooms never do. Rare for a one-bedroom, 23H offers one-and-a-half bathrooms: a stylish powder room with a stone mosaic feature wall and dark wood vanity, and a luxurious en-suite bath with frameless glass walk-in shower, rain head, and body sprays. Wide-plank hardwood floors run throughout, with electronic window shades and central heating and air conditioning. The Alfred is a full-service condominium with 24-hour concierge and doorman, resident manager, and attentive building staff. Amenities include a state-of-the-art fitness center, regulation-size lap pool with adjoining hot tub, racquetball court, sauna, steam rooms, multipurpose resident room, and a beautifully landscaped courtyard. Ideally located across from Lincoln Center, the residence is close to Central Park, Riverside Park, Columbus Circle, shopping, restaurants, and multiple subway and bus lines. Condo board approval is required.
