Description

Spacious and bright one-bedroom home in a well-run prewar cooperative that combines charm, scale, and practicality. Elevated a full floor above the building’s quiet east and north courtyards, offering light and privacy with easy access. Fresh paint and new LED fixtures set a crisp tone in every room. The entry foyer opens into a large sunken living and dining room, where hardwood floors, high ceilings, and arched doorways highlight the building’s pre-war character. The renovated kitchen is efficient and handsome, fitted with warm wood cabinetry and stainless appliances, including a SubZero refrigerator, Bosch dishwasher, and gas range with stainless hood. Across the hall, three oversized closets serve as the perfect coat storage, linen space, and a pantry to keep the kitchen uncluttered. The bedroom is quiet and comfortably scaled, with room to add a desk or dressing area beside the second window. The bath has been refreshed with new flooring, vanity, sink, and updated fixtures, including rain shower head with wand. Brand new flooring was also added to the entry hall, extending the sense of finish and care throughout the home. This residence is part of 205 West 96th Street, a prewar cooperative offering a part-time doorman (3pm–11pm), live-in superintendent, laundry room, courtyard, bike room, and storage. The building sits at the heart of the Upper West Side, seconds from the 1/2/3 express trains, the 96th Street crosstown bus, Central Park, and neighbourhood anchors like Trader Joe’s and Whole Foods. Ownership policies are flexible: gifting, co-purchasing, and part-time use are permitted; parents buying for children are reviewed case by case. Subletting is allowed for three out of every five years. Dogs are welcome up to 35 pounds. The apartment has a capital assessment of $86 per month through December 2027. This residence delivers classic prewar appeal with modern updates and a layout that makes sense—an ideal city home in one of the Upper West Side’s most connected locations.
