Description

Priced for a quick sale.

Flooded with sunlight and offering a private balcony, this spacious one-bedroom condo is a cheerful and peaceful home in a discreet luxury building in the heart of the Upper West Side.

With windows facing north, west and east, there is no compromising on the natural daylight. Living room includes a dining alcove with a separate window that could be enclosed for a home office or second bedroom.

The balcony is the luxury that has become a necessity, as it adds another location for repose in your home. Views from the balcony are open, yet interior, offering a respite from the noise and traffic and pleasant views of neighboring townhouse balconies and the steeple of a historic church.

Windowed galley kitchen is flooded with eastern light.

Sunny and spacious bedroom with corner windows facing north and west offers plenty of room for a king-sized bed plus additional furniture.

A little TLC and your personal flair will bring this gem to light.
