Classic Emery Roth Elegance in the Heart of the Upper West Side Residence 11F at the Oliver Cromwell is a gracious, light-filled two-bedroom, two-bath residence offering scale, classic prewar character, and open southern city views in one of the Upper West Side's most coveted locations. A welcoming entry gallery leads to an expansive living and dining area, where high ceilings, original hardwood floors, and beautifully proportioned rooms create an elegant setting for both everyday living and entertaining. The oversized primary suite features a substantial walk-in closet and windowed marble bath. The equally generous second bedroom also enjoys an en-suite bath, which can easily be reconfigured for hallway access if desired. The galley kitchen presents an exciting opportunity to create a sophisticated, contemporary space, with the potential to open it to the living and dining area and incorporate a large island. Directly across from the Dakota and moments from Strawberry Fields and Central Park, the Oliver Cromwell is a distinguished 1927 Emery Roth-designed cooperative celebrated for its Italian Renaissance architecture. Its magnificent lobby, with intricate original tilework, grand fireplace, and period details, sets the tone for this exceptional prewar building. The Oliver Cromwell offers white-glove service with a 24-hour doorman, live-in superintendent, laundry room, and bicycle storage. Pied-a-terre ownership, co-purchasing, parents buying for children, pets, and subletting with board approval are permitted. With Central Park at your doorstep and Lincoln Center, acclaimed dining, shopping, and convenient transportation nearby, Residence 11F is a rare opportunity to create a truly special home in the heart of the Upper West Side. Please note: There is an ongoing capital assessment of $389.64/mo until December 2026. PHOTOS ARE VIRTUALLY STAGED
