Description

If you've been looking for a project to make your own, this estate condition one-bedroom with home office is it.

With three exposures, high ceilings, hardwood floors, giant closets, crown molding, southern views, and eleven windows, this dramatic, sunny unit -- approximately 1,000 square feet -- presents a terrific opportunity to renovate into the home of your dreams.

The principal bedroom faces south, with a classic NY view of brownstones, a water tower, and sky. The windowed kitchen, with its butcher-block counter and Bosch range, can be reconfigured. (See the last listing for 3F-S to imagine what an opened, renovated kitchen might look like.) There is baseboard radiant steam heating, and cooling is by the means of in-window A/Cs. The white-tile, windowed bathroom has a full-sized tub. The loft-like living/dining room, with five windows, faces south and also east. The small room with the ceiling fan, about 9’ by 9’, faces west into the building’s courtyard.

Sorry, the addition of another half bath, or the addition of In-unit W/D, not permitted.

The Schuyler Arms is an Upper West Side gem, an elevator co-op with a magnificent arched entrance, central laundry, a concierge desk manned 24-7, live-in super, and bike storage (may have wait list).

Please note that this an Edwardian building, older than the “1930” showing in some published databases.

Situated on a tree-lined street in the land of great grocery stores; West Side Market is around the corner, Whole Foods and Trader Joe’s over on Columbus Ave. Transport is good too; you are three blocks from the 2,3 express subway stop (which is also a 1 train local stop) and a block away from the M5 bus. Leafy Riverside Park, with its jogging paths, bike lanes, tennis courts, dog run, gardens and playgrounds, is a neighborhood oasis.

Offered at $775,000. Twenty percent down payment required. Two percent transfer tax. Co-op board is looking for principal residents but is friendly to pets. Maintenance of $1,727.12 includes basic cable and Internet (Spectrum). Owner is a NYS licensed real estate broker. Call today!
