From the original listing · StreetEasyShow

Grand proportions, exceptional light, and timeless prewar elegance define this sprawling 3 bedroom, 3.5 bathroom residence with a separate den at the iconic Belnord Condominium. Never before offered on the open market, this exceptional home presents a rare opportunity to own a gracious and generously proportioned residence with a classic in one of the Upper West Side's most celebrated buildings.

A large entry gallery leads into an expansive living and dining room, where soaring 10-foot ceilings, oversized windows, and beautiful southern sunlight create a wonderful sense of space and grandeur that lends itself to both elegant entertaining and easy, everyday living. The oversized primary suite is a peaceful retreat, complete with a luxurious, windowed marble bathroom featuring double sinks, a deep soaking tub, and a stall shower. Two additional bedrooms each enjoy their own en-suite bathrooms and the generously sized, eat-in kitchen offers abundant counter space and cabinetry.

A particularly special feature of this residence is the spacious separate den, a coveted bonus room not commonly found in the building. Perfect as a library or additional gathering area, it provides exceptional flexibility to suit a variety of needs. Every room enjoys an open outlook, with the bedrooms overlooking the magnificent landscaped courtyard. Additional highlights include central air, hardwood floors, generous closet and storage space, a full size washer/dryer and an abundance of beautiful prewar character.

The Belnord is one of the Upper West Side's most distinguished architectural landmarks, renowned for its grand scale, elegant design, and spectacular landscaped interior courtyard. Residents enjoy 30,000 square feet of indoor and outdoor amenities, include a 24-hour attended lobby, expansive porte-cochere, and 22,000 square foot courtyard and garden, evoking total privacy and tranquility. The light-filled, two-story Belnord Club further offers a wealth of options for relaxation and entertainment, including a state-of-the-art fitness center with steam room and sauna, an impressive double-height sports court with a basketball hoop, a luxurious Club Lounge, separate dining room, children's playroom, and teen room.
