Description
Rarely available classic 6 at The Belnord, one of the Upper West Side’s most iconic prewar condominium buildings. This 2,264-square-foot home offers classic prewar scale, soaring ceilings, and stunning architectural details, highlighted by a dramatic 32-foot living room with a bay window overlooking the building’s famous landscaped courtyard, recognized by fans as the filming location for "Only Murders in the Building'. For buyers considering a renovation, approved plans from both the Dept of Buildings and the condo are available. Renovations include adding a 3rd bathroom and central air. Top-of-the-line Wolf and Sub-Zero appliances have already been purchased, offering a rare opportunity to create a bespoke residence within this historic home. A gracious gallery entry leads to the spectacular living room with beautiful wall paneling, intricate moldings, and a decorative fireplace, creating a remarkable entertaining space. The formal dining room is equally impressive, featuring original moldings, a second decorative fireplace mantel, and a large east-facing window. The windowed eat-in kitchen offers excellent workspace and storage, complemented by a generous pantry and laundry room. Just beyond is the third bedroom with an en-suite windowed bathroom, ideal as a guest suite, home office, or staff room.
