Description
Exceptional Value: True 3-Bedroom on the Upper West Side — Under $1.35M Welcome to Residence 1E at The Powellton, where timeless prewar charm meets unbeatable value. This spacious 3-bedroom, 2-bath co-op offers approximately 1,400+/- square feet of intelligently designed living space — all for under $1,000 per square foot. A rare opportunity to own for less than renting in one of Manhattan’s most sought-after neighborhoods. What Makes This Home Stand Out: 10-Foot Ceilings Fully Renovated Chef’s Kitchen – Outfitted with premium appliances including a Sub-Zero refrigerator, GE five-burner range, Bosch dishwasher, and an abundance of ceiling-height cabinetry. The corner pantry and granite countertops make it as functional as it is beautiful. Washer/Dryer In-Unit – A true luxury in NYC living. Thoughtful Layout – The kitchen, dining and living area flow into each other. All three bedrooms are tucked away in a separate wing, offering peace and privacy. The ensuite primary bath is windowed and tastefully updated, as is the second bath. Ultimate Convenience – Located on the lobby level, this home is ideal for those with strollers, pets, or a busy lifestyle. Skip the elevator and come and go with ease. The Powellton is a well-maintained, pet-friendly co-op with 24-hour doorman, live-in superintendent, bike & private storage, common laundry room and subletting allowed after 1 year (with board approval). Nestled between Central Park and Riverside Park, and just one block to the 1/2/3 subway lines, Whole Foods, and the vibrant Upper West Side cultural and dining scene — this location checks every box. ________________________________________ At a Glance: - Approx. 1,400+/- sq ft of living space - True 3-bed, 2-bath under $1,350,000 - Priced under $1,000 per sq ft — exceptional value - Prime Upper West Side location - Monthly assessments: $1,157.31 ________________________________________ Why pay $10K+/month in rent when you can own this turnkey home for less? Opportunities like this don’t come often — make it yours! Lead photo is virtually staged.
