From the original listing · Realtor.comShow

Uptown living, reimagined. This prewar two-bedroom in Sterling Towers pairs original character - inlaid hardwood floors, 9'4" ceilings - with a layout that's been completely rethought for how people actually live today. Oversized south-facing windows pull light through the entire apartment and frame open views down 181st Street toward the Hudson River, the George Washington Bridge, and the Palisades. The living and dining area was positioned to make the most of that exposure, giving you a bright, flexible space for everyday life or entertaining. The two bedrooms sit on opposite sides of the apartment for real privacy. The second is a standout: custom millwork built into a foyer with coat and shoe storage, a Carrara marble display niche, and floor-to-ceiling cabinetry - equally at home as a nursery, office, or guest room. The king size primary bedroom offers two generously sized closets with customizable systems. In the windowed kitchen: a custom stainless-steel counter and integrated double sink, white subway tile, rich wood cabinetry, and a chef-ready lineup - Bertazzoni range, Bosch dishwasher, GE French door fridge - plus a deep pantry and marble flooring. The windowed bathroom keeps its prewar soul with a restored clawfoot tub, updated with penny tile, a Duravit pedestal sink, and a full-size linen closet just outside. Sterling Towers is a well-run, pet-friendly co-op with a landscaped garden (seating + grilling), bike storage, private storage, a new laundry room, and a live-in super - all zoned for the sought-after P.S. 187/Hudson Cliffs. You're moments from Fort Tryon Park, Riverside Park, and J. Hood Wright Park, with the A express a block away for a fast ride downtown. Light-filled, thoughtfully redesigned, and priced to move - this is the uptown find people search years for. An $86.03 monthly assessment for boiler repair is in place through May 2027.
