From the original listing · Realtor.comShow

Space, light and views come together beautifully in this 2-bedroom, 1-bath Upper West Side home, with the bonus potential to add a half bath. Set high on the 13th floor at the rear of an elegant prewar building, the apartment faces north over a row of classic townhouses. You get open city views and soft, steady light without the street noise. The living room, separate dining area and two oversized bedrooms all enjoy this bright, peaceful setting. The renovated kitchen comes with its own washer/dryer, and both the kitchen and bath are windowed. Everything is in move-in condition, so theres nothing to do but unpack. The building offers a part-time doorman, a live-in super and bike storage. Central Park, the American Museum of Natural History and the subway are all just steps away. This is a classic UWS home in a prime location, and its ready for you.
